Look what I found!
Roc would've loved this!
This is a complete three piece set! Stag handles on the knife, fork, and steel. The fork has come loose of the handle and the ferrel is missing. I can't figure out what the attachment is on the fork either. I took some 2000G to the maker's mark--it says "Henry Sears & Son - 1865 - Warranted" Any info would be great! __________________ Andy Garrett https://www.facebook.com/GarrettKnives?ref=hl Charter Member - Kansas Custom Knifemaker's Association www.kansasknives.org "Drawing your knife from its sheath and using it in the presence of others should be an event complete with oos, ahhs, and questions."

Did a google on the name. Check out this for a funny, but VERY racist advertisement: http://www.tradecards.com/articles/bae/bae19.html
Another site said that the company was bought by Farwell-Ozmun-Kirk in 1897. Looks like it was Henry Sears from 1865 to 1883, then it was "& Son" until 1897. That would date your cutlery to 1883-1897. Roc would have had this nailed down! __________________ God bless Texas! Now let's secede!!

I can suppose, then, that the "1865" on the blade indicates the year the company was founded, yes?

Cant help you with the make. But the attachment on the fork is for grabbing slices of meat, and placing them on a plate, rather than stabbing the meat.

I will disagree with you about the fork.. I have several sets of carvers and the attachment is to flipout and hold the fork off of the tablecloth so you won't get grease on it. I have seen somesets up to 6 pieces.

It very clearly says "warranted". Send it back and maybe they will repair it.
 Seriously, that is quite a find. Congrats!

Ferrier A Die antique pruning, NEED HELP on I.D.
I purchased this item off Ebay last week as a test to find more details. This item is very old and the blade has a very distintive makers mark. I'm guessing that this mark is from France but so far no luck making a positive ID. the mark is in a sort of oblong circle with FERRIER A DIE at the top and MEDAILLE DARGENT at the bottom with a sideway symbol of a club in the center.
This is my first post & I bet I screwed-up somehow. Thanks!

wpucket, you should start your own thread to ask your question. It doesn't seem to relate to Andrew's thread and you're more likely to get responses if it was a stand alone post.
You just need to click on the New Thread button at the top left of the This Old Knife sub-forum. It looks like this:
