Fellow Knife Enthusiasts,
I am starting to expand my Ralph Bone Knife collection and would love some info. I know he was an early member of the Texas knife makers’ guild. Please share any knowledge you may have. Thank you!!!
I know he made knives in Ft. Worth and moved to Lubbock. He used several different stamps ranging from a small solid dog bone, a small hollow dog bone with the word “Bone” above it and a large Dog Bone with “BONE AND LUBBOCK TEX” inside the outline of the bone. Please see pics below. Does anybody know the approximate date ranges of when he used the stamps and or if his apprentice Mr. DeLeon used any of the above stamps? Thank you in advanced for any info you can provide.
