Belknap Inc. Old Timer?

Bob, that was only 1970. 1959-69 and 1971-86 might have an entirely different lineup for each year. Schrade sold what Belknap ordered.

I understand. If there are other Primble Old Timers though, they appear to be uncommon, perhaps rare, as the only models I've seen have been the 933 and 935 (I'd suspected there might be a 934, but never knew until yesterday).

Of course the rarity of any other models would make them extra-desireable.

Anyway, that's the last time I dig through my pile of knives trying to find a matching pattern, when ZAM, like magic, you can post an entire list.

Best Wishes,

Bob,
Ya gotta dig through them often. They need to be loved just like any pet.

I do have some questions about whether the new ultra-low sulfur fuel is affecting the seals on trucks of my vintage.
Since our trip to Orvet's country in late summer,I've been noticing a whiff of diesel when the tank is full and I'm on a steep grade.

Ron my email address is pwrstrk1200@sbcglobal.net Give me a buzz with all your questions and I'll try to answer them and help you out. If you're smelling diesel fuel you have a leak somewhere or you got an injector dribbling instead of misting causing unburned fuel to exhaust. And no reports of concerns with the new fuel yet. But there is allways tommorow! Matthew

Appearances can be decieving. What looks like a "ZAM" is more like a ...scratch...scratch...this drawer? No...maybe this one....now which file?...scratch scratch...let's try these...flip...flip...flip...flip...Aha! Nope. Flip...flip...flip...Maybe this one....flip...flip...scratch scratch scratch...flip flip flip...Aha! Now to read all these tiny faded numbers... squint... scratch... squint... scratch...

Actually, it is much more fun sifting (read...playing) through a collection. And until a pattern is proven by direct evidence, such as an example of the knife, it is all just an acedemic exercise. Numbering systems contain flaws, such as catalog numbers being reused for other patterns after one is discontinued. Records and catalogs often contain errors. The knife companies could not have cared less about collectors scratching their heads years down the pike. They cared about meeting contracts with current production, and designing new patterns to sell, not the slower sellers discontinued.

Here is a good place for me to say that without the support and guidence of a lot of collectors, and a master librarian, much of what I uncover and present would be impossible.
