Platers and Stampers, Ltd. was a subsidiary business of EKCO, an American company that wanted to cash in on the British market - Platers and Stampers was the name given this off-shoot in order to make it sound more domestic and less “American.”

One knife has a thicker blade that curves slightly and has a small raised reinforcement before the handle - stamped on one side near the handle is a head wearing a hat and scarf that has “LA DUROLLIENNE” written on it. The other knife’s blade has been sharpened so much it appears to be less than half of its original width - faded remnants of something stamped on the blade is visible, but illegible.
