There are two cover stories about our favorite knife company in the June 2004 issue of Knife World magazine. Very interesting reading. I can share my copy (send it to you, anyone that is interested, I can't keep and store all the magazines I get) if anyone is interested.
Along with all the history and such is this photo of one of the very collectible 'Anheuser Busch' knives, featuring a Stanhope lens. I have only personally seen these knives in a locked up, glass fronted display case, and the owner (this was at a knife show) wouldn't let anyone peer into the lens. Most, I think, show a portrait of Adolphus Busch. Companies other than Schrade made these; they were an important and interesting Advertising thing way back when.
Just interesting, I thought I'd share. And perhaps our LT has one to show us?
Hope you all are enjoying your weekend.
