"Old Knives"

[chouse]

Lets add some color! Just another Remington.

 

[ptradeco]

This thread never ceases to amaze me. There are so many well preserved examples. Tip of the hat to all who post here!

Has this one sitting in the truck for a while now, hope it qualifies next to some of the wonders I've seen here, i believe it's a Roberson model 42 (1922-1939) if I'm reading it's tang stamp right





compared with a GEC 68



would have liked to have known it new but happy to meet it now as well

 

[Simple Man]

Yeah, I'n a sucker for old Robeson's also. The ebony GEC looks good also. :thumbup: :thumbup:

Here is one of my Old Knives, a New York Knife small congress in MOP. I found this at the recent Tulsa show in a gift box. Knife has some spotting and pitting, but is unused. Has the very early stamp probably 1860's. Nickel silver liners.

Nice old Robeson. It could tell some stories. Pearl New York is a good one. How did they get all those blades in that slim knife?

" 3 5/8" closed, pinned nickel silver shield, steel bolsters, brass lined, bone hafts, extended pen spring, well used, sharpened,and carried. Caldwell knives were sold by the Indianapolis hardware retailer Van Camp Hardware and Iron along side the last knife I showed you that bore the Van Camp stamp. A gentleman named Caldwell ran the place for many years and the knives bearing his name were marketed between 1910 - 1929. Purchased for the condition as well as the scarce nature of the tang stamp. Shown along with my two other Hoosier knives, the Van Camp and the Chapman Hand Forged, as well as a recently built knife of similar size for scale that you should recognize. " >> my friends quote there,not my knives,as I have stated many times, Enjoy & Thanks

I'm currently in Englandshire visiting my parents who now live just outside Cambridge. Here is my fathers knife that he carried all the time when I was a wee'n. This is the knife that started it all for me. I tried to pinch it many years ago, but he recovered it from me (and rightly so), so I rarely get the chance to handle it these days.





I will inherit it one day

Here's an old Amber Stag Shapleigh Hdw Company jack knife. Nice old knife with some amazing old amber stag stag! It's nice
and round! very tight, excellent walk and talk. Love the swedges.

That Caldwell is EXACTLY my kind of knife, wonderful specimen. Congratulations.

Mind you, I've yet to see a knife that wasn't interesting on this thread, well done everybody.

 

[jujigatame]

Yeah, that Caldwell is something. Reminds me of a Case Loomfixer but much nicer.

 

[chouse]

The Caldwell is great but its hard to beat the nice stag on the Shapleigh.

My only ( I think) knife with the large sheepfoot is this Remington R2223 with black jigged simulated faux artificial plastic bone. Good snappy knife though.

 

[Gevonovich]

Remington R283
c. 1924-1933

 

[chouse]

I like that blade style.

 

[glennbad]

All these knives are outstanding! I don't have too many good examples. However, this Crucible finds it's way into my pocket at least once a week...

 

[mike Berkovitch]

Wow, fantastic old knives. Keep em coming guys.
Thanks, Mike

I posted this old Remington Raybestos advertiser in another thread that had little response and was soon 4 pages down so I thought I would add it here also. These were apparently given to Raybestos Brakes customers in 1927. This is the only complete set I have seen. I have seen a few of the knives without the box, penny, and card.

 

[67nick]

^^^ That is awesome chouse!!! Everything about it is very cool, from the penny to the greeting to the knife.
Kind of reminds me of the movie, "A Christmas Story," where Ralphie's dad wins the leg-lamp, lol.
