Thank you Greg, this thread has turned into what I hoped for when I started it, a resource for everyone that likes and wants to learn about Bob and his knives. A large part of this thread is your knowledge of Bob, his knives and Cripple Creek. Your wonderful pictures add visual reference, much appreciated and thank you.
 
A couple of early patterns that are very low in number. The Muskrat and a Junior Stockman. There's a photo of the
5 blade Junior Stockman back on page 33 or 34. Cargill made about 6 or so Stockman patterns.
Notice the shields on these 2. Those are the early shields and Cargill wasn't able to get more of them. So,
if you see a Cargill Cripple Creek with this shield you know it is an early knife. The blades on both knives are too
slender for a matchstriker pull.

Gunboat Canoe Stockman. Buffalo Tribe was the name of Cargill's Cripple Creek Club. Members could get a yearly Club knife, like this one, and recieve
The Smoke Signals letters and other perks. More on that later.
