Ulster "Old Timer". Built by Schrade Walden under the Ulster name for RJ Reynolds.

Your knife seems to be the same pattern as mine.

I need to see some old knives folks. Let's get'r goin!

I bought this Catt. a few weeks ago off of eBay.

3 1/4 closed, potassium permanganate Rogers Indian Trail bone. Cochran & Alcock, Hardware, Carlisle, Penna., l904. (Google books) Jigging is nice and crisp. Blades have original finish and are actually sharp. Pretty minty except for a small crack on the pin under the shield and some initials scratched into the pile side of the main blade.

Scans don't do the scales justice.

Good score Mike, love those old ones that seem to pop up every once in a while.

Thanks Jim. I was pleasantly surprised how nice it was when it arrived.

But still a nice old knife...

STUNNING! the swedges really do look great on that one, so crisp for its age too!

Here is a Schrade Walden 810 3 1/8" Senator. I was told Schrade stopped making this pattern sometime in the 50's, you don't see too many of these, jigged composite handles.

They might call it a senator, but it's more properly a small cattleman pattern with that blade combination. Sweet pattern, a Schrade model I don't think I've seen before - bet it would make an awesome EDC. Lovely knife.

1953 Schade catalog listing for the 810, an old Cut Co Pattern:

A 1932 illustration of the 7234 3/4. An equal end pen with one spring:

Both are kind of seldom seen Senator patterns. I really like that three blader Paul.

 

[zerogee]

Thanks for the cuts and showing its fraternal twin - love to see these old equal end patterns - simple and elegant, and they feel nice in the hand and pocket. And truth to tell, the blades often fit better into this simple frame than into the curvier patterns.

Guys, Im not too sure if these knives are truely welcome in such a fantastic thread, please...if these types of knives are wrong here...please let me know and I will amend this.
I just really love the older knives-probably more than anything, and these most certainly fit into the old league!
These are more the pruner family, I have a few shots, so please bear with me

Here is a great old pruner/hawkbill, English, not as old as some of the others in photos-as it carries the England stamp, I would estimate this as a 1920's-30's
You can JUST make out the SOU, then underneath RICH...which tells me its a Southern & Richards..
A very heavy old knife, the wood I hesitate to call Ebony...but what else could it be...it seems to be very heavily grained.

Next is one of my favourites, bought of a fantastic guy here in the forums...I love it, this Hawkbill has the snap that would remove little fingers - whew!!..lovely knife, older than most us of dream of reaching...
Keen Kutter......stunning!

Now this one I am so intrigued in, its quite old, stamped..XL ALL, PARKIN & MARSHALL, SHEFFIELD.
The snap is extremely strong-stronger than any knife I have owned-and yet its over 100 years old!...the spring is so thick!
The wood is great in the sun, unfortunately has a piece gone-but hey...Im still lovin' this ol' girl...

A couple more to follow..
