Wondering about this pocket knife. Any info would be nice. Is it just a knife with the company's name on it for advertising? From info have found the company was active from the early 1800s to mid 1900s

It appears you have an old advertising knife, for the "Alexandra Cream Separator", that R. Lister bought the rights to sell, from the patentee, who was a Danish Engineer. The link below tell's the story. If you are looking for the actual Maker of the knife, you will need some blade tang marks, and or further digging into R. Listers Company Dealings, (imo). Very Interesting Piece, and Good Luck in Your Search!
