Hey guys so I found a couple of knives at my local flea market and picked them up for a pretty good price I'm not to familiar with the more vintage knives and was hoping you could share a little information

The old timer comes with bag and papers and is numbered 0118 was wandering if y'all knew when it was produced and possibly it's rarity and value?

Uncle Henry has no paperwork or stamp on the blade any info you can provide for it would be great!

The Uncle Henry is stainless and likely has 440A blade steel.
The Old Timer has 1095 blade steel.

Schrade pumped out a walloping load of both Uncle Henry and Old Timer knives over a period of more than 30 years with not much change in the patterns. So precise dating is not likely.

So, likely not rare.
Best way to get an idea of current value is to look on eBay for completed auctions. Check the bid history, and look at the highest bid other than the winner.

Looks like an 807UH Uncle Henry.

There's a nice web site where you can look up old catalogs.

There's also a Schrade collector's forum here on BF

Nice find my friend, i am never that lucky to find any thing worth wild at our flea markets. you have some good ones there, enjoy them.
 
Great finds. I love old USA made Uncle Henry knives. It was the first knife my dad gave me as a kid. I still carry a Trapper today. Congrats...may not be an expensive or rare knife but they both hold a lot of history in traditiinditional knife collecting.
 
Awesome thanks all I agree def worth holding on to! Old USA made uncle Henry and old timers are what my grandad and dad always carried! Do y'all know how frequently old timer numbered their knives? I was assuming it was numbered for whoever it was produced for with the laser etching Farmer's Pride!

Thanks again for the input it is much appreciated

Didn't Schrade put a serial number or something on the bolster for a while?
 
I'm not sure but the Uncle Henrys used to have a serial number on the inside brass liner. I'm not sure what year that stopped.
