If I wanted to post for Aussie mates I would have posted on their site however I had something to share with my U.S. mates where I always post but was flung to another irrelevant and embarrassing for me at least Forum. It was not exactly knife riveting news however having submitted 15 pages of Schrade photos I thought I had paid my subject relevance dues.Very Sorry Mr. Moderator it will never happen again..ever!

It is, it is! But don't thump on Esav too hard please. He is one of the good guys and was just trying to keep the forums tidy. I'm sure he doesn't realize that you are one of the largest, most rabid... er...fervent collectors of Schrades and Schrade knowledge among our mates from Oz.
WHile you have been worried about the Staglon and Sawcut Delrin on your Schrades, Schrade Waldens, Ulsters, Kingstons, Imperials, Camillus, Imperial Mexico and Germany and Ireland knives melting, It has been quite nipply here in SOuthwest Tennessee of late. Low twenties (American, not Metric) and four inches of some strange white stuff. Do you know how much trouble it is to wrap up all of these knives in their own little blankies at night?
Oh yeah, and as to knife content, can anyone I.D. this truck as to model and year? I've not had much luck. I'm thinking late thirties or early fourties, and possibly a Chebbie or GMC?
I thought it might help to date this photo.

I agree with Larry to have a solid community (schrade community)its the little bit of random chatter that binds us together as individuals and keeps things from being a sterile only talk bussines enviroment. community is (common unity) inbetween talking shop we sometimes like to share our personal thoughts with our friends.5% non subject matter is what binds the other 95%. After all larry's an Aussie , a bit of chit chat here is like having a hand on ya mates shoulder when you are talking in person, it shows you are interested in what other people have to say.What do you do if your mates dont cheer to greet you when you walk in to the Pub, you go to another PUB.

The Kingston CUTLERY truck may be older than I thought. After the war a lot of models carried over pre-war to post war. Looking closer, the wheels look more pre-war, as do the headlights. Tough to pin down. Late 30s to late 40s for sure.

Well, the principal years the company was an active entity was roughly circa 1943 - 1950. And yes, the truck may have already been in service for Ulster or Imperial prior to the lettering for the picture by a few years. I don't know the old trucks well enough to pick out the vague details changed from year to year. And you are likely correct, few civilian trucks were even made during the war years.
