thanks so much for the quick reply! You have an awesome collection to be envious of! You’re red bone case knives thread are what got me into collecting vintage slipjoints especially old Barlows!

Charlie, love the Dasco's especially the 3 blade.

Been awhile since I've been able to land a nice Schrade but managed this bone handle 861. Really nice jimping, it was put on after the knife was finished and goes into the bolsters.

Sweet as Augie!!! Beautiful knife - when you see a knife so nice it makes you wonder why we need more? I haven’t worked that one out yet.

 

[Augie]

Charlie, Paul, Duncan, thanks for the comments guys, appreciate it.

Cal! Didn’t know that one existed! That’s a good looking Knife my friend!!!!

Hi Blake, I think this would land somewhere between 1917-1946. Dasco looks to have been in the forged hand tool business since 1922.

Oops, I see Charlie has beat me to it. Great info, Charlie!

Picked up this boy scout chow kit at an antique mall. Had a single digit price tag so why not. Snap has pulled out but both pieces are there.

I always wondered who made the spoons.

 

[rockman0]

Cal, best I can tell they were made by R. Wallace and Sons. Mine is marked "Allegheny Stainless" followed by a WB underscored and a W below it.

Nice Picnic set, Rob!! rockman0
These are only 3 1/8" long. Is that the same as yours??

 

[rockman0]

Charlie yes mine are 3 1/8". The knife still has red paint in spots with a lot of red left in the well. I hear all boy scout kits had red paint on the knife and girl scouts had green paint and a green sheath. Did yours come from a girl scout kit?

It's green in the well, so it must have come from a Girl Scout kit, Rob. It's been passed through a few hands, so, who knows? Thanks for that!!
