Hi Chuck

Nice old knife and good find. It is a stockman model,and if a genuine Winchester,was

made between 1919 and 1942. The last genuine Winchester was made in 1942.

That was one tough old feller,that lived in that cabin.

It actually looks like a brand new old knife. Hardly ever used.

oops! wrong post.

This is a good example of what happens when a person tries to think before coffee and beer!!!!

Chuck It would be safe to bet that your Northfield is older than you are,and is a keeper.

Northfield made knives from 1858 to 1926. They went out of business in 1926 and the land

and factory was sold to the state. One employee continued to build a few knives for

about 40 years after using the Northfield trademark. There is a new company that has taken

over the trademark ,and make knives in the same style.

Your knife shows to be an original ,and is very collectable . Condition is what controls the

price. There should be a serial number on one of the blades. With that you can tell when it

was made.
