Made by the McChesney Co. of Newark, New Jersey, the style of this child's porringer is reminiscent of Kerr's work. Given that Samuel McChesney was the brother-in-law of William B.

The sidewall is acid etched in a series of scenes that suggest the history or ev ...click for details

It remains a very popular design, and the reason for that is amply evident in such a fine example as this 7 3/8" long youth knife. It is in flawless condition, with no loss of plating, nor nicks or bends. ...click for details
