WATROUS & CO. 1857 PATENTED ADJUSTABLE DRAW KNIFE we have a very nice example of the Richard N. Watrous Patent Drawing Knife. The Dec. 15 1857 Patent details the design of this knife, allowing the handles to pivot up and down on extended tangs, locking into notches and being kept snuggly in place by thumb nuts on the end of the tangs. While numerous examples of the Watrous patented design were p...roduced by different makers, whether by licensing agreement or after the patent expiration, much fewer examples made by the patent holder have turned up. This knife is clearly marked "Watrous & Co." and remains in extremely nice condition! The number "9”beside the makers name refers to the length of the blade.
Condition is "Used". Please view photos and ask questions before purchase. As is saleShipped with USPS Priority Mail.
