I was cleaning out a house for an investor friend of mine and we came across all these swords and daggers/bayonets. I am trying to figure out what they are and who makes them. that way i can determine a value for each. Any help would be great. Thank you.
N.P. Ames, Springfield Mass. 1829-1847, Ames Manufacturing Co. Chicopee Mass. 1847-1881, Ames Sword Co. Chicopee Mass. 1881-1924, Bought out by M.C.Lilley. Also note that the Ames 1832 has a much wider, leaf shaped blade than the one in the OP’s photo.
