Do I like Remingtons!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Do Bears do dodo's n the woods? - yup. I like em for sure! and that one is an absolute corker!!!
 
Here is an original Nehi Gal Leg Remington. I guess I should clean the handles. You can tell the originals by the hook on the caplifter, the bevels one the top of the blade clip, and the line across the lower part of the bottle. Also note that the rivets in the shoe are not on the lines of the shoe. I have yet to see a reproduction with the sharp hook on the caplifter or most of the other features I mentioned.

Thanks for sharing those Remingtons chouse. Looks like you a nice collection. I think that lady leg looks great as is, personally I wouldn't clean it up any.
 
Those Nehi knives are fantastic Thanks for posting :thumbup:
 
For an 'advertising' knife/opener those Nehi look very high quality indeed. Still, it is a Rem after all so I shouldn't be surprised!

What age are they please? I assume 1930s, but I'm often wrong.....
 
I am not sure of the exact dates but I think 1930's would be correct. I have a small collection and my main goal is to have 10 good examples of the various handle materials going by the last number of the model number. And a few others that I may run across! :) I started a thread awhile back about them. If you have some time and missed it before here is a link.

Nice knives chouse,personally I think the one less shiny is classier,but I would take either.:)
 
Thank you for the info Chouse. These are very interesting pieces of industrial art, quality too.
 
I need to spend some time in this thread!

Here's a quick pic of an Alfred Blackwell I picked up a couple of hours ago and am still cleaning up.

 
Here's a sweet little Robeson Shuredge split back. Not sure of the age maybe 1920s-30s ish??? it's still got its factory edge!

It is near mint, or as close as I have had to mint at least.
I just couldn't pass it up. Not sure if that's lacquer from the factory or old dy oil on the bolsters? Either way it sure wasn't carried much;)
 
That old Robeson PocketEze whittler is a great knife.

Does it have a pattern number?

Here is a nice old, circa 1920's-30's Robeson electricians jack. It's 3 5/8" long.

These are Ebay auction photos from the seller. I just bought it and it's enroute.

I have never had one of these in my hand. I guess, as a workingman's utility knife, they were mostly used and abused.

This one, apparently, escaped that particular fate.











 
Wow Charlie that a beauty too! Yes it does 633417 here is another pic. This is in "as found" conditon. Looking at your jack I'm tempted to use flizt on it..... talk me out of it!

Wow, Charlie! That Robeson Electrician is stunning. It looks like it just rolled out of the GEC factory.
