A souvenir from the 1904 World's fair. A J Jordan was a St. Louis based importer of German and English knives. Aluminium was a valuable commodity at the time.

AJ Jordan was quite the business man. He like other entrepreneurs was taking advantage of the westward expansion and trade with Native Americans making St. Louis his base. He is well tied to cutlery history by eventually buying out Platts Brothers.

Great thread Brad!

Thank you.

s-k you have some nice ones! Thanks for sharing.

Fascinating thread

Glad you like it Jack.

Fes this is very similar to one I have. Does the tang stamp read Otto Berkenhofe?

Carl Schlieper by Carl Schlieper: I love the reverse on this one.

Hoffritz: While not antique by any means I really like the tools. I have heard these referred to as Carpenters knives.

Not as old as most of the others. But I believe it fits in. An Imperial Frontier P-II Mac Tools knife.

Schrade knife

Schrade Mac Tools. Sorry for the bad pictures.

A few Kutmasters, mostly seconds from the factory store in Utica.

The Budweiser handles are upside down, the Orr needed to have access to the nail nick ground in by me, and the Smith and Wesson anniversary seems to have omitted one end of each cutlery rivet.
The Way Maintenance Union I got from an antique store, nothing wrong with it. The shiny one is Waterbury & Sons Co Oriskany Felts, Oriskany NY. Stainless handles and plated blades.
Smith and Oriskany are clip-master jacks, the others are pens.

A few others- a trim-trio with a welding-gas supplier's leather key fob riveted around it, a Colonial clip-master pen, a Lubotco (Schuler & Benninghofen, Hamilton OH). The little Backus Baskets is by the W&H Co. Mercedes by Paul A Henkels. The Schafer's Welding Service of La Porte Indiana is unmarked for maker.

Love the little tools and trinkets that get incorporated into these. Some of the tools depicted on this one are the same as the above Carpernters knife but there are some new ones as well:

Great knives everyone. I like the ones with tools and the Toledo style scales.

This is an old souvenir from Cuba.

You have some really nice ones s-k. I am partial to the ones with tools as well! Here is another:

This is my favorite by far, especially with the tool selection.

The cat's back feet are doing some interesting things (image rotated for cat clarity):

This one is French circa 1950s.

I was curious if anyone would pick up on the cat. CCC is a giant multi-national company dating back to the 1800's. One of worlds largest ferrous and non-ferrous metal suppliers. While there is much on them out there I have spent entirely too much time trying to find out about the cat. To date not a clue.

This one is French circa 1950s.

s-k, another nice one. Seems as though hunting and sporting dogs are a popular theme on these embossed knives.


And a couple of more, pardon the carpenters knife duplication.

Duncan says it well. This thread has certainly given me a new appreciation for these neat knives.

Here's another French Champagne pattern.

I am posting this on behalf of Rytstuf, who is having trouble posting photos. He would like to know anything about this recent purchase. He will chime in on a later post.

 

[rytstuf]

This is rytstuf. I was told this is a Shcrade Old Henry (which clearly on the blade in inscribed Schrade). Has anyone seen this knife before ?
