44-henry:
Picked this up at an antique shop near Lancaster PA this afternoon. Don't know much about it other than it appears to be quite old. Stamp on the blade appears to be GRAYSON, but I could be way off with that. Measures about 8 1/4 overall, blade is about 3 1/4 inches. Bone handle. What are your thoughts on age and origin?

Stoner creek:
That flips my switch!

Mine to. For the most part I just follow my wife in these stores and carry her Fiestaware finds, but this time found something a bit out of the ordinary. Looks a lot like this one on display at the Museum of London.

I believe this one in my collection  by Yeomans   dates around 1840/1850. It seems  to be a popular style of the late 18th to early 19th century. You have a nice find!
  You don't see them like that very often.

jdm:
Sheffield directory of trades and professions lists Grayson  1821-1822. That  was with a quick look.
