That actually makes sense - first thing I noticed was that it wasn't very sharp, so a letter opener makes sense. And yes I do plan to try and return it. Looked up the name, no luck but I will keep working on it tomorrow. "Live each day like it's your last, love like you've never been hurt, and dance like no one is watching."

The Damage Control Officer, Commander C.E. Aldrich, USN, from his station in Central Station, reported that without power nothing could be done to correct the list.

The nineteenth century Scottish antiquary George Chalmers, in his Caledonia, quoting the twelfth century English chronicler Symeon of Durham, wrote that the original Earls of Lennox descended from an Anglo-Saxon – Arkil, son of Egfrith. This Arkil, a Northumbrian chief, was said to have fled to Scotland from the devastation caused by the Harrying of the North by William the Conqueror, and later received control of the Lennox district from Malcolm III of Scotland.[5] However, today it is generally thought that the original Earls of Lennox were of Gaelic descent. Someone will have the answers. |

User ID: 22229335 United States 11/12/2012 10:44 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | [link to www.flickr.com] Quoting: amywood71605 It has this engraved on it: Lt. C.E. Aldrich U.S.N. Honorary Member Clan Macfarlane 1964 Not looking for it to be worth anything - just honestly curious about where it could have came from? Any help is appreciated! USN United States Navy. It was a gift for something that Lt Aldrich did or a memento of his honorific inclusion in Clan Macfarlane. It looks like a letter opener, but may really be a symbolic dagger (not meant to be used as a real weapon). I have no idea who the clan MAcfarlane is, Least ways not in relation to the Navy. 1964 is obviously the year this honor was bestowed.

debdeboer User ID: 49607094 United States 11/07/2013 05:04 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I saw the knife listed on ebay - I'm a descendant of MacFarlanes, and my sons are Naval officers (a LT and a Lt Cmdr). I was going to buy this for my son for a Christmas present, but decided that since I live only a few miles from the family in NJ it belonged with them! Hoping I win the bid, then I'll contact his family and give the knife to his great-grandchild, where it belongs. So thankful for the information - wish it were listed a little cheaper!
