A New (Old) NOS Russell Green River Works "Daddy" Barlow

I finally purchased this Russell "Daddy" Barlow. About 5" long when closed with great saw cut handles, Russell with the arrow thru the "R" is etched on the blade as if it just came from the factory.

What is almost as nice as this 'minty' knife? It came wrapped in the original waxed-paper covering sitting in the original Russell box that displays the logo for John Russell Green River…

It is a nice knife and cost me a lot more than three bucks I'll tell ya…

The last one today is a sweet John Primble Belknap in the original box that held 1/2 dozen of these little guys as a store display.
We are probably talking in the 40s for this set, so it is hard to keep the box (cardboard) and in such good condition.
The blade is etched (sorry it is hard to read) and says:
John Primble Finest Steel
The handles are peach seed imitation bone and both are in excellent condition.
The box itself is close to…
