Nice finds ^^^
I forgot I bought this, I was focused on cleaning up the Utica.
Bought this Colonial Prov. U.S.A. For $4, great snap, no play half stops, pretty clean, just had to oil and put to the stone.
I think it is a # 25 no mark, it's a 3" serpentine jack.

Stopped in today at one of the flea markets Vanguard41xx told me about. Again, no knives worth purchasing, but I did pick up a barely (if at all) used Lansky sharpening system for $10. I may try tomorrow to make it to the other flea market he tipped me off to. I couldn't go there today because it is open on weekends only.

This week was pretty good, first Ulster Knife Co. N.Y., in decent shape, I have to file down the kicks, and a little cleaning, both blades are razor sharp, half stops and great snap, broken scale on the pile side, but not loose at all.
Next a 1970's 10 dot Case, 6347 HP stockman, a little rusty and broken tip, all things I can fix. Looks like everything is nice and tight.
Both knives $10, not a bad day considering it was raining and only a handful of vendors.
Now for the fun part fixing up, I still have to date the Ulster Knife Co. N.Y.

I grabbed this sweet little thing at a gun show a while back. Remington master blade in a Pal. According to Bernard Levine Remington allowed Pal to use up the old blades they got when they purchased the rights to the patterns from DuPont. The Pal shield is pinned and should read along the handle making me speculate that it could be a lunchpail knife made up by an employee.

Whats is a lunchpail knife. I have an idea but would like to hear your explanation.

Here are the before and after of the Ulster Jack, as far as dating goes the Ulster Knife Co. N.Y. tang stamp was used from 1876-1941, some older Ulster threads say the ones stamped with N.Y. Pre- date the ones with Ulster Knife Co.
Anyone with any further info would be great.
Main blade stamp reads:
Ulster
Knife Co.
N.Y.
Secondary blade reads:
Ulster
Knife
Co.
This knife was used and used well, the blades were maintained and I did not have to touch them, just had to file down the kicks, the kick on the smaller blade had already been filed down flush to the bolster so I had to hold it open at a 45 degree angle to expose enough to file down.
The other thing I like about this knife is where the scale is broken, it is smooth from continued use after it broke, the scales in general have a nice pocket worn feel to them don't know if that comes through in the pictures

Case XX 6347 HP before and after
Farmkid I can see why your Grandpa carries this knife it is a solid work knife.
This is a nice knife that someone seriously neglected, I cleaned it up, took off all the rust reshaped to give a new tip to the broken one. I don't know what color to call the bone, it's a reddish brown. It is in my pocket today.
