Rare R. H. Brown Co. – Clark’s Patent Handle
Patented April 22, 1873 • With 4 Original Blades • Original Box & Label
A rare and highly desirable example of the R. H. Brown Co. Clark’s Patented Handle, dated April 22, 1873, complete with four original blades and housed in its original box with label. Sets with the label intact—are exceptionally difficult to find.
The patented handle design reflects the inventive spirit of the late 19th century, offering a versatile system for interchangeable blades. This example shows honest preservation, crisp details, and all four blades matching the period and maker. The box latch is broken, but the box and label remain strong and add significant collector appeal.
A standout piece for collectors of patented American tools and early interchangeable‑blade systems.
