Dickinson (Edwin Murray Dickinson was born in Sheffield in 1849 In around 1882, he launched Murray Works, Cambridge Street, for the sale/manufacture of pen, pocket, and sportsman’s knives, Bowies and daggers, and trade knives for butchers and farriers). Four have a single blade and Marlin spike and one has a large and small blade. All have lanyard rings and are in very good condition *please see images*. They are housed in a custom made wooden box with an amateur painting of a ship above ‘Sailors Knives’. A collection worthy of further investigation.
