I already have a weakness for ebony and those look very promising. One question though, and it may be a bit premature or unknown right now. Will these have a "clean" blade like the old renderings show? I am not a big fan of all the etching on the blades that Schatt and Morgan is famous for. If so, I'm in some big trouble here.
Different Strokes!
I'm hoping they deep etch them with things like
"TEAMSTER'S PRIDE", and "PENN'S WOODS KNIFE"!!

That is while you're conscious...(Just kidding, brother.
)
I'm really hoping to see some patterns in candy stripe celluloid. I missed out on Charlie's Harness release 3 from Schatt and been bummed about it ever since. I think a lot of these older patterns look great in the candy.
Here is a little teaser for you MHillCharlie's #3 in candy

I got the 2 catalogs a few months back and most are handled in wood, bone & some higher end gentlemens knives in pearl. (In the `08 catalog) They show just 2 pages with cell handles, except for the straight razors, all with black celluloid or transparent with advertising.
I look forward also to the cattlemans/ punch releases.

Ebony is the best.
Dave, thanks for posting the harness. I have made it a priority to find myself one of those.
Queen has an interesting plan in the works - they are going to take a page out of an old Schatt & Morgan catalog 1903 or 1908, and reproduce the knives! I can't count the number of times I've thought "Gee, it would be nice to have one each of these old knives", when I've been doing some perusing myself!!
HERE'S THE REPLACEMENT PICTURE!!

I've also put it in the OP.
Dave, it's fun looking, that's for sure. I'm starting to find myself looking at some of the stripped materials. The candy stripe harness being number 1. I'm also finding myself very fond of Case's glitter stripe material. I'm not a big Case fan and have only kept one, my 6445, but I'm also try and find a sowbelly glitter stripe.
I think this heritage series could be a big hit with some of these different materials.
I just ordered those Catalog repros. Can't wait!!
It would be interesting to see them do the Harness Jack page!! Here's one from 1911. It's page 21 in that catalog.
