Identify this toenail
Continuing with the series of identifying this toenail, I have another for you to test your skill.
The question today is “What Brand is this toenail?”
As we have already pointed out, a knife brand (make) could have been made on contract by a different manufacturer, so if you name the manufacturer instead of the brand, that is cool. It won’t win, but will get you honorable mention.

Today’s knife is actually a picture of three (I thought I’d make it a bit easier).

What did you guess?
The answer is all three are W R Case & Son toenails c. 1902- 1903.
While these knives were not made by this firm, it is probable the first two were made on contract by Napanoch.
Who else was around at the time that had a toenail in their product line? New York Knife Co., Cattaraugus, Ulster, Case Bros., Union, Platts?? Somethings we’ll never know.

Close but no cigar. I figured the Nappy look of the top two would give them away…
I know this ain’t easy and only the extreme hardcore even have a clue.
Better luck next time
