I wondered who beat me out on flea-bay ! Glad to see it was you Mike!
I figured it had to be plenty old when I saw the button hook.

I always find it easier to swallow when I know I was bidding against "stupid money".:)

Nice addition Mike.

Nice whittler!! Here is my latest Catt, it makes 6 that I now have without Little Valley NY on the tangs. This one is marked CATTARAUGUS in an arch over CUTLERY Co. I have 3 marked this way and 3 that are marked CATTARAUGUS in an arch over CUT Co. Derek and I believe they are some of the oldest ones that JBF had made but not sure where they were made.




Perhaps this is a Factory 1 stamp?

It's too late Charlie ! At least eleven of them have the worms ! :eek::eek::o

Testiment that I don't get all the Catts - the Catt that got away.

I lost out on this smooth natural bone Catt over a year ago. I thought that I bid high enough to secure it for my collection, but, came up $112 short of winning the auction. It still pains me to think of losing out on it. It is listed in my Cattaraugus catalog and they made it in a spear and clip point:

Catt made some fine examples, however, one needs to look out for the crooked shields that some of their workers produced. ;):D Other than that, they were of high quality. :) I love their unique swedges, indian trail bone, dye and jigging.

Fine character on your only !
