UPDATE: Thanks to a knowledgeable, fellow eBayer for their help in determining that this cleaver was made by Foster Brothers.
Albert C. Huffschmitt, 1858-1930, owned the A. C. Huffschmitt Saw & Supply Company located at 704 S. 4th Street in St. Louis, MO. The Missouri Sta...te Gazetteer & Business Directory of 1893 lists him as a cutler, grinder and saw filer. Gould's Directory of 1905 lists him as a butcher machines & supplies merchant. His father, Lieutenant Peter Huffschmitt, 1818-1887, is listed in Edward's Annual Directory of 1868 as a cutlery repairer. Albert applied for and was granted a patent in 1912/1913 in relation to saw construction improvements. Both men are buried in the family plot at Bellefontaine Cemetery in St. Louis, MO.
This meat cleaver has an 8" solid steel blade. The overall length is 15". The blade tine is riveted to the handle using four (4) gold star inlays & brass rivets.
*Note - One (1) star inlay is missing, the center brass rivet is still intact.
Weighing in at 36oz, this meat cleaver is solidly made and in excellent condition considering it's age and function.
