Back to Empire!

[waynorth]

I just finished renovating my Empire display, a lot of upgraded knives, and an increase in number, from 54 to 78. New backing, and signs.
It is a replica of a display that Empire assembled for the 1858 Connecticut Agricultural Fair.
Now it is off to the Oregon Knife Show!!
Here's a sneak preview!

Awesome

 

[waynorth]

Thanks Ken!
Here is a photocopy of an old worn brochure, that my friend Tom found in Connecticut, that provided the "plans" for the Display!
If I remember, the original brochure belongs to a local Historical Society in Winsted.

What a great display! (I think I see the dogleg jack I sold you at Blade two years ago in there.)

Job well done. :thumbup:

Way Cool Waynorth. Very nice looking display. I will be doing some squinting now.

Adding a question... Are the knives clinging to the backing via magnets? I do not see anything holding them up.
OK, squinted harder and did see wires.

Awesome

+1 :thumbup: Can't say it much better than that!

Charlie that display is outstanding!

Wow!

That is an awesome display, and it leaves me at a loss for words.

All I can think of is stunning, or mind blowing.

Wow!

 

[waynorth]

Yes, Mike! That was your knife!! Couldn't-a done it without ya!

Hal, they are wired in place, just like the old time cases.

Thanks for all the appreciative words folks!

Very nice display! Too bad you don`t have an old knife box in there.

I've been looking for boxes. . . . . .maybe in the next "renovation".

That's really excellent Charlie!:thumbup::thumbup:

 

[texasflyfisher]

That is so cool!

All you need know at the knife show is to have a gentlemen in period attire stand by the display. Any volunteers?

 

[Modoc ED]

WOW!!!! That display is simply stunning.:thumbup: Maybe it can get better than that but I just don't see it happening. Thanks for posting the picture of your display.
