The Shelby County Historical Society has received a tobacco knife made by the Burley Knife Company, in Shelbyville Kentucky. We are looking for information about the knife and the Burley Knife Company circa.1938-1939. This is what we know: The Burley Knife Co.was in Shelbyville KY, The knife was used to split burley to put on a stick.It was made near the Planters Warehouse on Kentucky Street. The man who made these knives may have been Ray Weller, head of the Fair Board. The tobacco knife was a possession of Ray Patterson of Harrisonville, KY and presented by Sanford Roberts on 1-11-2012. | AuthorOur authors are officers and members of Shelby County Historical Society.
