My dad gave it to me and I was glad to have it.

It's hard to afford a custom on a ten year old's allowance in the late 50's. smile

Here's a nicer example of a Barlow I picked up at a yard sale several years ago. I like single blade pocket knives and it said Sheffield on the blade so I bought it without knowing anything about it and boy was I surprised after I did some digging. It was made by Christopher Johnson & Co., Sheffield, England in the 40's or 50's and it's still so tight it'll take a finger off if you aren't careful closing it. IIRC I paid $20 for it...even a blind hog eh?
