Yesterday I found one of these NIB for $35. It is a duplicate of my Frontier 4624 in size and blade shapes, but has Old Timer handle scales. The shield on the handle is blank, and both blades are marked stainless. The paperwork in the box only says made in U.S.A. and suggests using a Craftsman hone, which in the picture is a Schrade hone. The sheath is leather foldover with rivets around one side. The box is red felt lined and very heavy cardboard.
It sure looks like a Schrade but I was wondering if anyone knew for sure. I figured this was the place for answers.

Thanks for any help.

Can you post a picture? I have two knives from that series (circa 1975-76), but I know that Sears also used knives from Buck and Camillus in the series, usually with the same style sheaths, boxes and inserts.

ISC, by the way, had the name "American Eagle" copyrighted, so Sears used it under license from them. IMPERIAL KNIFE ASSOCIATED COMPANIES#72329620 03/03/1970.
