Some old Cattaraugus history for the season. Tint Champlin, JBF Champlin’s son, printed a poem that he sent out to his family and friends as a Holiday greeting. They may have been sent to employees as well. He did this for a dozen years or so. This info is from my friend and partner Derek. I have been blessed to be the caretaker of these items and I thought I’d share them here.

As usual Charlie. That's probably the best R 1123 I've seen.

Hard to beat that Electric etch Mike. I like Tint's poetry more than his knives.He sounds like a very decent person.

A LF&C boys knife just acquired still retaining its chain.
