<B>A GEORGE WOSTENHOLM AND SON, WASHINGTON WORKS, SHEFFIELD FARRIER'S KNIFE</B></I> - George Wostenholm made the knives of American settlers and pioneers. In 1848 he established his 'Washington Works' at Sheffield, England. This horn-handled 4” bladed knife is clearly marked with Wostenholm's Washington Works, Sheffield stamp. The knife has been twisted into a farrier's knife for use in scraping horses' hooves. While the horn handle is not original to the knife, the blade and its adapted handle are unique and interesting to collectors.<BR>Condition: Fair condition as appropriate with use and age.<BR><BR><b>Shipping:</b> Flat Material, Small (<a target="_blank" href="http://www.heritageauctions.com/common/shipping.php">view shipping information</a>)
