On that note for Charlie, tongueriver tongueriver H herder and others who have collected avidly: I love look of the Butter and Molasses celluloid. What is the origin of that material? Have any another contemporary maker of traditionals brought it back in acrylic other than the GEC version w grits on the Stockyard Whittler?

Nice selection of EOs. Haven't come across to many Brantford knives, does anyone know much about them?
Here is a Brantford I picked up at a knife show a few years back.

Referring to the previously posted Diamond Edge knife: Schrade CutCo called it brown cream-lined. Later, K-horn. Schrade tried to duplicate it in the 1960s in Delrin, but as my cousin Gloria would say, "It just ain't right."

Sometime in the 30's Wostenholm started making the flat blades. 30's catalog :

I'm not sure of an exact date ,as this pattern appeared in a 1960 catalog too.

It's hard to pinpoint a date.

The flat blades were not added to Schrade catalogs on this pattern until 1936 , although introduced and used on some of their horticultural knives in 1932. They must have become marketable about this timeline. Others used the flat blades on this pattern around WWI.

Thank you… was this knife made by Schrade or is original?
 
Oh , it's original for sure , an older Wostenholm.

I thought if the Schrade corporation decided to add the flat blades , it was an indicator of a popular design around that time in the industry. It probably is an indicator of the Wostenholm knife's timeline too.

Seems like these brands don't get as much attention as the other big names of the day. Thanks for suggesting this thread @Amir Fleschwund 👍

Here are a few of mine

It's nice to see that Utica again. That green celluloid is my absolute favorite of all the celluloid I have seen. Is there a consensus of what that style of celluloid is called? I have seen it in both green and brown, but no other colors.
