Playing cards

[Bob W]

Approximately when did Schrade sell the Old Timer / Uncle Henry playing cards?
Were they sold with a knife, or separately?

Thanks mate, that's a help.

You wouldn't know if the cards were ever sold separately?

I just bought a deck of cards and want to know more about them.

Codger has posted some info on these clam packs with aprox. dates in an earlier thread here. http://www.bladeforums.com/forums/showthread.php/415125-Sharpfinger-Clampacks-A-mini-rant
I'm not sure whether the cards were sold separately or only given away as promotional items.

As far as I am aware, the "bonus" items found in some clampacks from 1999-2001 were not sold individually, though a supply of items did emerge from the bankruptcy sale in October of 2004 and appeared on that auction site along with a variety of advertising promotional items such as hats, shirts, patches, keychains etc. Eric or Larry can correct me if I am wrong in this understanding.
