I found a Klein TL29 and an ecko forge 7" carbon butcher Friday, and these this morning: Clyde Cutlery (Ohio) 14" carbon butcher, Schrade serpentine jack, and Imperial Ireland.

looks more like a machete then a butchers knife
Cool knives. Never heard of Clyde Cutlery, but I love those old carbon steel kitchen blades.
The Old Timer is a 33OT, if I'm not mistaken. 1095 carbon steel. Sharpen it up and slide it in your pocket. They don't make 'em like that any more.
The Imperial factory in Ireland opened in the mid-late 1980s when production was moved from Rhode Island, and it closed a few months before the Imperial-Schrade bankruptcy in 2004.

Hi all. New guy and first post. Took the family to flea market at the state fairgrounds this weekend. It's one of my favorite places to hunt for pocket knives and I think I did pretty good this time. I hope the photo posting thing works.

Thanks. Top is a Case xx 1054L 8 dot and second is a Northfield un-x-ld. It is peanut sized with beautiful green bone scales and copper bolsters. There are no other markings on the tangs.

Hi all.

Great find! I am a congress fan, can you post any further pictures of these two? The boker is unmistakable but I can't make out the shield on the second

I may have to try it for that. There's a non-bf seller who says a big butcher will do the work of a leukku. Worst case scenario, I'll have spent $5 on two shorter knives that need more work.

Any way you could post a picture of the tang stamp on the Northfield? That really looks to be quite the catch!!!

Happy to oblige. I'm sorry for the cell phone pic. Any information you may have on the knife I would love to hear.
