Care Guide
Set of 6 Antique J Russell & Co 1834 Mother of Pearl Handle Luncheon Very Good Antique Condition. Expected scratches from normal use on the Carbon Steel blades. Original set of John Russell manufactured Green River luncheon dating between the 1880s and 1910s. The year 1834 is the date John Russell founded the company in Deerfield, Massachusetts. It is the company's official founding date trademark, not the year these were made. The number 12 under the name stands for 12-gauge (also listed historically as 12 Sharp), which refers to the thickness and grading of the carbon steel blank before grinding. NOTE ABOUT CARE: Handwash only. Do NOT use harsh metal polishes or submerge the handles in boiling water. Natural mother of pearl handles are held into the metal tangs using a heat-sensitive organic resin cement. Hot dishwasher cycles or soaking will instantly dissolve the ancient glue and cause the pearl handles to fall right off the blades. Please see photographs.
Daily Cleaning: Use a soft brush or damp cloth to gently wipe away dirt. Avoid harsh chemicals. For mesh areas, use diluted mild detergent and a soft brush.
Drying: Air dry in a cool, shaded place after cleaning. Avoid direct sunlight or high heat, which can cause fading and glue deterioration.
Storage: Stuff with paper to maintain shape when not in use. Store in a dry, ventilated area to prevent mold. Rotate between multiple pairs to extend lifespan.
Usage Notes: Designed for basketball. Not recommended for hiking, long-distance running, or other specialized sports where different performance features are required.
