Among my small collection of John Primble slipjoints, I have a tiny 2 7/8 inch closed stockman that I think might be a Schrade contract knife.

It has brown jigged delrin scales with a "federal" style shield on the front, mainblade tang says "John Primble, Belknap Hdw. & Mfg. CO." and the back of the mainblade tang has the numbers "921".

The other two blades are sheepsfoot and pen.

None of the other blades have any markings.

Schrade contract?

I have another John Primble that I know is a Schrade contract, it's a 34OT that says John Primble on it, otherwise it is a regular 34OT.
 
Larry is now the official forum Primble King (he has my catalog), so you'll have to wait for him to respond. I believe he is up to his gluttius maximus in caiman sclerops right now with the website and his other projects, but he should be able to get here soon. If the dog stays out of the dishwasher. And I quit sending him files to convert and file.

Codger :D
 
As it worked out Codgers Catalog from 1974 came up empty. I went to a backup. The Big Book of Pocket knives has a nice section on Primbles and I found a 921. Did you get the purse?
I can't tell from the picture if it was a Schrade. Many of the companies made a similar small pocket knife about that time.
We need better pictures!
