First sighting!

Great idea Codger! Something tells me I'm not alone in this after all. I think we need to start having some interventions to get you guys some help.(I'm OK though, really, just don't pay any attention to the time this was posted.)

I like the way the seller ducked the question about what's written on the paper in the tube, you can just make out the "Under License from Taylor Cutlery LLC".

DUCKED QUESTION:
Q: Looking at your photo, in between the blades, if you read the verbage on the paper inside the box, what does that last line read? I can't quite make it out. Thank you.

A: It reads SCHRADE on the shield. Good Luck.


Eric:

That was my question. I wrote him back again and asked a little more directly (indirectly indicating he ducked the question). He emailed me the entire text from the paper. Very politely I might add, not rude at all. Not surprising, the seller chose not to put that answer in the listing.

The entire text clip is as follows:
The Schrade cutlery company was founded in 1904 in Walden, NY. The quality of the cutlery produced was unique to the industry at that time. They grew to manufacture a full range of value-priced folding pocket knives. Albert M. Baer, the owner of Ulster Knife Company which was founded in Ellenville, NY, purchased Schrade Cutlery Company in 1946 and renamed it the Schrade Walden Cutlery Corporation. It became a division of the Imperial Knife Associated Companies group. The Schrade Walden division was moved from Walden, NY to Ellenvville NY in 1958. The Ellenville, NY factory closed in 2004. Production of these knives was moved to Camillus, NY. ​

Nice investigative work thawk, I had a feeling that question came from someone on this forum:D Kind of hard to trust anything that comes in plastic sleeves any more since probably 95% of it is either Taylor or mis-matched.

Yes Eric, especially as the seller originally said he bought the knife in 1972 that is probably what drove the price up.

Yes. I love the open stocks in a tube, but I always make sure I know the tang stamp, front and back, and ask lots of questions. In that case, I asked just to see what kind of reaction I would get. The same thing is true of the gift boxes. I guess only a Clam Pack is 100% guaranteed, and they kind of suck since you have to break the seal to play with the knife.:grumpy:
