Several years ago I found a Schrade Cut Co large jack with different era bone on each side, pretty well thought it was a one off anomaly. Imagine my surprise when one of my vintage knife friends offered me a Cut Co sheepsfoot jack with 2 different era covers on it.
It's in high condition and has early pick bone and early peach seed bone, interesting in that the pick bone side has 4 pins and the peach seed has 3, the liner on the peach seed side is drilled for a 4th pin.
Now there are 2 known examples I wonder why they are like this, factory prototypes, salesman sample, factory repair, probably will never know.

Never a 'dull' moment with Schrade!

Mawvellous examples there John
The new one’s from a time capsule

The old ones I have (not Shrades) with 3 mark-side and 4 pile-side pins have pinned shields. On a particular Remi there are 2 for the shield.
Something I’ve also thought about for a while. It would be nice to know for sure. Could it be that someone didn’t want a shield on that bone? Who knows.

A couple of cool enigmas, John!!

 

[WValtakis]

Dunno if this counts as a real Schrade, but I love it nonetheless

 

[tongueriver]

It's a Great Eastern, anyway, and very nice, and 90% of everybody on Bladeforums traditional just does GEC anyway, so you be cool.

Here is my Schrade! I've posted this one before, but yall went on a Schrade brigade, so why not!

I could just hug that darlin' to me cheek and give it a kiss.

That's why it gets its own custom made leather slip

Wavy-red’s are becoming scarce…

Time to pull this thread back up...

I was able to get out to knife show Sunday, and grabbed these survivors.


A nice old bone with the curved Schrade stamp.





And a nice 4 blade pearl Schrade Cut Co

Both beauts Glenn
Lots of character and metal there !!

Single sheepsfoot Schrade Cut Co, etch is a wholesale plant and florist company that as far as I can tell is still in business today.

Wow John what a beautiful example!! You rarely see those with cocobolo handles, usually it's the standard ivory celluloid.

Thanks Eric, the wood is pretty nice on this one.

Gus- a real nice Wavy Bone Schrade- what an absolute beauty!

Wonderful additions Glenn- Oh mate who would not pick up those? I totally agree ( as always ) with what our good friend Gus said about them!

Augie, I would call that almost untouched! nice example.
