This auction lot is for an Early Green River Knife & Fork Set. Marked J. Russell & Company. John Russell began manufacturing tools and cutlery in 1834 and established a new factory on the Green River in Massachusetts in 1836. His knives rivaled the quality of those manufactured in Sheffield, England, and as settlers moved West in the 1840s Russell's Green River knives moved with them. Green River knives were ubiquitous in the early American West, and the phrase "up to Green River" entered the American lexicon meaning something well constructed or very well done. Good condition for the age. No serious Scuffs, Stains, and Corrosion, No Dents, but slight bend in metal tip. No Chips or Splinters in Handles Knife: 9" L - Fork: 7 3/4" L Great handle decoration. See Pictures for Details.
