W JNO Baker - Cutler

[Sea Monster]

Afternoon all,

I recently came across an item from a Sydney based mail-order cutler (from the 1920s), the brand is simply W JNO Baker, the blades are stamped Made In Germany.

A bit of web searching has shown he did a range of products, german and british, put his name on them, and sold them via mail order catalogue.

Does anyone have any of his pocket knives?

It seems unlikely anyone outside of Oz would have picked one up, but local treasure hunters may have come across them.
