For your consideration is a collection of three Northern Plains Indian trade knives. These knifes are manufactured by J. Russel & Co. from Green River Works and would typically be traded to the Northern Plains Indians in the 19th Century. Each knife shows the "J. Russell & Co. Green River Works" hallmark parallel with the hilt. John Russell founded his namesake cutlery circa early 1830's and by 1836 he moved the factory location to the Green River Massachusetts area. A fire delayed the factories success, but by circa 1840 with the help of Henry Clapp the factory was rebuilt and christened the "Green River Works" with all knives produced here hallmarked, "J. Russell & Co. Green River Works." Each of these piece show a nice patina on the blade and a hardwood handle with copper rivets. This collection shows good condition overall considering age and use. These knives measure approximately 9", 10.5" and 11" in overall length.
