Boker & Co. pearl handled knife with 3 blades. One blade is a finger nail file. Wondering what year it is and what it is worth? It is in excellent condition and is in a leather sheath.

I i could send you a picture maybe you could help me out with the use of them? Inscribed is: H. Boker & Co. I think they are for button holes but i am not sure. Thank you for your help!

Boker collector (who is still looking for his first Boker toenail, by the way) and since he was too chicken to write his note here, I thought I would for him (watch out what you email me I might make write about it....you know I am aways looking for content and ideas.) "Hey Scott, KILLER post on the H. Boker toenails!! Very well done. The article also made me think about something. Are all 4 knives you have pictured Improved Cutlery's? Since the toenail isn't shown in Boker's 1928 catalog, but is in the Greer & Laing 1914 Hardware catalog, I was wondering whether or not Boker made any toenails after the Improved Cutlery stamping? Have you ever seen one stamped just H. Boker? Also,I have printed your post and am adding it to my H. Boker notebook/scrapbook of info. that I have been putting together over the last few years.........................now you just need to sell me one of those toenails." Take care. Roger Roger is a friend and the one who bought most of my best H. Bokers when I liquidated them (gave them away, :) I did) so I could get my pennies together to go elephant hunting.... If you know of an old H. Boker toenail in decent shape let me know. Roger really needs one to complete his H Boker collection. FYI: The bottom knife shown in the pic with the four is the Valley Forge and I am not aware of a Boker toenail made after the "Improved" era. Thanks Roger for allowing me to share your message with the other members. You are a good sport :) Was sent a nice email about this Featured Toenail from a hard-core H.

Boker & VF toenails are the shortest toenails I am aware of at 3 7/8 inches long. Incidentally, H. Boker & VF toenails are the shortest toenails I am aware of at 3 7/8 inches long.
