Holiday Weekend Collecting

[kevins73cigars]

I noticed that there are some real Schrade & Camillus bargains on eBay this weekend. I've won two great knives that I never would have won (low bid) if I was competeing with a bunch of other collectors.

Unfortunately, the opposite has also been realized. Not a good weekend to sell your Camillus knives! Oh well, I guess it all evens out!

I like a buyers market. I won a Schrade NY 855RB yesterday. No luck today other than some pyrex bowls .



What did you win Kevin?

So far, a Schrade 889PM & a 1982 World's Fair knife by Parker Cut Co. I have a bunch of low - bid knives out there that I'm watching & I am very interested in winning a few of them...

Happy bidding on them. I only have one I am bidding on, tho it is still a few days off. I expect it to go rather high, but I still want it.

G'Day, A good tip is to load 'Parker' only as your search to pick up bargain priced Schrades. Sellers put under 'Parker 'rather than Schrade. I have now picked up 11 American Eagles NIB this way. Example. Ebay# 190112971396 is 4 NIB American Eagle for total $60.06 and at $15 each mint in box would have to be considered value buying. They sell for US$85 each on Oz Ebay. Hoo Roo

Add to that a big barlow knife.



Never seen this one, but it's a 5 incher with a serial number. I bought it pretty much unopposed like Kevin said.

Thawk,

That's a limited edition Mac Tools commemorative - Schrade Daddy Barlow. I was supposed to snipe that but I went out to dinner with my wife instead.

so that's why (holiday weekend) i got 3 ebay knives (Imperial and 2 Camillus), all mint from 1950's (or maybe late "40's) for total of $55.
i wonder how often forum members are unknowingly bidding against each other ? i would back off on some if i knew there was a forum member who really needed it to complete a collection. roland

I sniped it, stayed home and had a shrimp boil. I'm sure it had some decent packaging at one point. I've seen this big barlow before, but never as a stock Uncle Henry.

Won this last night unopposed, $24.99 never seen this pattern either, it was made for Moore - Handley in 2002, they are a large Hardware Supply Co in AL
It comes in a Old Timer Classic tin.

Hey, I have one of these too, #469 and a very sleek knife. Have never seen an example of the 89x series with this two blade configuration other than this edition. Wonder if there were 50 or 999 made??

 

[Rusty1]

I'm thinking probably only 500, but anything is possible.

Thawk,
My Daddy Barlow just arrived. Same as yours, with the exception of a blade etch that reads "MAC TOOLS Limited Edition". Big sucker! 9" open and nice & light for the size. I feel the impulse to carry this monster, but what the heck could I use it for? It would scare the heck out of the sheeple here in NYC!

Ditto Kevin. Mine came today, and that is one big blade. I think I'll just get it out to scare neighborhood bullies when they pick on the little kids.
