Schrade Yeller Handles - Do I have one of each known model?

[Wtrfwl]

Mine is stamped 896Y on the opposite side of the SCHRADE WALDEN markings. Acquired it from an estate sale and when I saw there hadn't been any on eBay in awhile. It's in fair shape. I'll post some pics of it. I'm at work tonight so....

Got home. Here are the pics. Any info on this knife would be greatly appreciated. I can't find anything about this knife.

I believe the 896Y is pretty rare. I don't think it was actually numbered as such. I'd like to see one to see if there is a pattern number on the back. If you find yours, I'd appreciate it.

Just nailed an 896Y. i’m not sure but the only catalog reference I can find is on the inventory price list of 1961 on Collectors of Schrade. Been hoping to find one of those yellow slenderinos in the wild for years. It does have the 896Y on the back of the clip. Man, this particular thread goes down memory lane.

Surprising they stamped those as eight OT when the 881Y was exactly the same.

And since the 881 is stamped 881Y, why wasn't the 8OT stamped 8OTY? I suspect it may be a parts knife with an 8OT clip main.

The few yellow 8OTs I've seen have the same pattern number. Never seen one stamped 8OTY.
Here's another yeller for the list - the Y326. It's the same specs as the fancy milled 808s from the late 50s but with the shadow covers. It's not in the catalogs but does have 'Y326' stamped on the back of the main tang.
