It came with a Nupearl handle and a lucky penny. It swept the nation! Hasn't hit Ebay yet.

And this one was going for 23 cents when it would have sold anywhere else in the world for 40 cents.

Advertising in historical terms is indeed fascinating.

Bone type stag handle - hmmm. Period advertising with a confused copywriter. Nothing has changed.

And shouldn't that large banner say " The finest, most complete line of Cutlery Sears HAS (not have) ever offered"??

I just got an example of the Kwik Kut marked Sears Barlow, though it is not pristine, and I did pay more than 23 cents for it. But I thought you might like to see it, repinned, blade loss and all.

Tangstamp, as with many if not most of the Kastor/Camillus made Sears knives of the 1930's - 1940's, is...
HIGH CARBON
....STEEL
