Co. – PATENTED MARCH 6. 1860 markings on the knife blade this bone mounted knife and fork set was made by the forerunner to Lamsom, Goodnow & Yale who held Union arms contracts during the Civil War for manufacture of the 'L.G. & Y' rifled musket. A matching set, each piece with attractive age colored bone grips pinned to tapered shanks. Bone mountings remain solid with a single shrinkage crack along the bottom side of the fork grip as evidence of age and period use.
