Any ideas on this falling apart knife?

[coinman123]

Going through some of my finds. Saw this pocket knife. Any ideas of when it is from, any other info would be great too. It is falling apart, though it's amazing how to wood handle survived. It appears that the pin that keeps everything together rusted away and everything fell out. Found at a colonial site, though there was some activity in the early 1800's, and many hunters afterwords.



Thanks for the info, Coinman123,

I would say early 1900's. Can't say about the brand, but going by the blade, that old knife was carried and sharpened for a long time. Tony

I believe that is a Barlow knife. It was very popular in the mid 1800s.
