Hi everyone! A while ago I had a thread on the Bernard Levine Forum on an old advertising knife made by Schrade. It had aluminum handles and was marked E.H. Best& Co. Boston, Mass. on one side and Knoxall Textiles on the other. My original question concerned the style of the knife which seemed much older than the Schrade/Walden/NY tang stamp would indicate.
Recently, I have found two other variations on this knife, one a Schrade/Cut.CO./N.Y. and a Schrade/Walden/NY USA.
The Walden USA version omits the E.H. Best marking and adds a Knox Woolen Company, Camden Maine marking. I have been able to locate some information about Knox from a Google search, but not about E.H.Best.
My question is, do any of you on this forum have any info on that company or on these knives? And, does Schrade have any info?
Thank's in advance.
John.
