George Schrade's Hunting and Fishing knife

[Robbie Roberson]

Hello, my son ran accross one of these, I found pics on ebay below,

just wondered what one of these might be worth, he does not intend on selling but wanted to get an estimate.

I also found a thread on BF that said it was made between 1925 and 1945.

That is a particularly nice specimen, as it has the Boker Markings. Boker bought out G. Schrade in 1956. These usually sell for about $20, depending on condition or how badly someone wants one.

Just a plain, simple knife, inexpensive, more evidence of the genius of George Schrade. Has a little blade locking device as well. The design has stood the test of time; I have seen them made in later years in Japan and I think one other American company but don't hold me to that.

A similar model is currently made in Red China for whoever now owns the 'Marbles' name. Strange, as Webster Marbles never sold anything remotely resembling this. Just another example of whoring out a fine old name or design.

That is great information, thank you, he has his own collection and is just trying to figure out some values.
