Members Nox Posted October 27, 2016 Members Report Posted October 27, 2016 So sorry, I did not got an alarm for new post... But I already talk with you in private, Walter So Walter: Was the cave diving near Rocamadour? May be The St Sauver résurgence... I have been here few years ago and this summer, nice place! And Cabouy close to it is nice too. Quote
Members Nox Posted October 27, 2016 Members Report Posted October 27, 2016 (edited) So, Trox: I've seen something like the Dumay logo on a half moon knife, someone was asking about it on an another forum, here are 2 pics, you can see how the deer is walking on it, not jumping as on yours, wich make it look more "Blanchard" style, so strange, but they may change the deer to look Blanchard on purpose, like a false one Don't confuse it with the "Dumas Aine 32" wich is from a knifemaker from Thiers (french city of knives), apparently around 1950, none other tools ever seen than the half moon ... http://www.ebay.com/itm/XL-Antique-DUMAS-AINE-32-France-French-Saddlers-Leather-Cutting-Head-Knife/291873763245?_trksid=p2047675.c100011.m1850&_trkparms=aid%3D222007%26algo%3DSIC.MBE%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D39850%26meid%3D5062fcf0de164a35a271f56a64178e35%26pid%3D100011%26rk%3D1%26rkt%3D1%26sd%3D361717303814 Edited October 27, 2016 by Nox Quote
Members Nox Posted October 27, 2016 Members Report Posted October 27, 2016 (edited) Trox: Funny, the first "compas de bourrelier" circle/washer cutters with deer handle looks like a Blanchard, totaly! But here are some "Portrait" logo, so you can compare if it's the same horse with a saddle on it, + a "rembourroir" (to do the flocking, what's the name in english?) + a "couteau mécanique" (plough gauge) from Portrait. It could be a german manufacture too, wich was using a horse (pferd) as a logo (stamp), I've seen some tools like that on eBay Germany...... But there is no letters stamped, only the horse from what I remember, so it'll be difficult to guess the name... If I find something about it, I'll let you know. Edited October 27, 2016 by Nox Quote
Members Nox Posted October 27, 2016 Members Report Posted October 27, 2016 (edited) Trox (again) The "serpette" with SNCF is the second one I have seen... Mr Montagne told me something about this stamp, it may by a Blanchard did especially for the french train company SNCF, there is none other stamp manufacture on them. I don't know if it's true... Why not. The "B" is probaly the first letter of the owner's family name? Or first name? Here is a third one for 30€: https://www.leboncoin.fr/collection/854144040.htm Do you want me to buy it for you? About Ullathorne, I got some pics if you want them by mail. http://www.forum-outils-anciens.com/t10840-Extraits-du-catalogue-Ullathorne.htm?q=ullathorne From what I read on the cover, It's the same than in London "Ullathorne from London / Paris address" See you, do not hesitate to ask and to contact me by PM because I'm not getting all alerts here and I completly forgot to look at this post... Sorry folks... Edited October 27, 2016 by Nox Quote

Members Dams Posted October 27, 2016 Members Report Posted October 27, 2016 @Trox About Dumay à Paris. It seems to be a discrete company because the tool below is the only one I saw for sale for years : https://www.leboncoin.fr/collection/1012539715.htm?ca=2_s Sorry but i have nothing else to say about that ;-) Quote

Members LumpenDoodle2 Posted October 28, 2016 Members Report Posted October 28, 2016 I love dipping into this thread. The tools are just so lovely, and if I'm honest, I have more than a pinch of envy going on here. I have a couple of old (and very worn) tools that I use every day, and the quality of the manufacture shines through. It's that solid feel that they have, even when worn, and a bit pitted. I'm just going back to drool over a few more pictures now............ Quote “Equality? Political correctness gone mad, I tell you, gone mad!!!! Next they'll be wanting the vote!!!!! “.

Members Nox Posted November 1, 2016 Members Report Posted November 1, 2016 yeah ... and a scottish now! Welcome! I have been in north west Scotland last year, amazing landscape, i just won't leave it, I took amazing pictures and named my 2015 rescue cat "Scotty" (because is red of course!) dedicated to your beautiful contry. I'm also a big fan of Outlander movie and book (and Jamie Fraser because I'm a romantic girl). Ok, back to tools stories... Quote
Members LumpenDoodle2 Posted November 1, 2016 Members Report Posted November 1, 2016 Don't know how I managed to post twice, but heyho. Northwest Scotland is certainly jaw dropping in its beuty (IMHO, the rest is wonderful too.:-)). sadly, I never find such wonderful tools anywhere, or at least at an affordable price.
