Found three very similar looking butcher's knives at a thrift store a few years ago. I thought initially that they were a set, being that each had a bone (or stag?) handle. As it turns out, I am able to make out the manufacturer's names on 2 out of the 3. This one reads:
"GOODELL COMPANY

Goodell Company, Antrim, NH - The apple peeler was the first of the labor-saving machines David Goodell designed or improved. The firm he founded, the Goodell Company, also manufactured a number of kitchen devices still in use today. In addition to his inventions, David Goodell became a prominent Republican in New Hampshire politics. He served in the state House of Representatives from 1876 to 1879, and on the state's Board of Agriculture from 1876 to 1883. He served as governor from 1889 to 1891.
The original design of David Goodell's apple peeler sold well into the 1970s. His company's other products included a cherry stoner, which was used to pit cherries, a potato peeler and apple slicers and corers. True to his farming heritage, he also sold farm implements such as the Cahoon broadcast seed spreader. I believe the company is still in business.
