Some Firehouse Commemoratives

[ea42]

At the request of Rusty1, here are a couple of commemoratives for two of the three walden firehouses.(Rusty has the best ). The first was for the 100th anniversary of the Colonel Bradley Hose Company, the second was for the 125th anniversary of the Enterprise Steamer Hose Company. The Colonel Bradley came in the standard blue Schrade scrimshaw box, so I didn't include it in the photo, the Enterprise was much more involved. Both knives are based on the 507SC platform:

Thanks for posting them, excellent knives Eric, I can see why you would like to add the Clasp to go with them, nice looking 507SC's. Now it seems I would like copies of those to go with the Clasp, for those who did not see the Clasp That Eric mentions above I have attached them here also.

Wow, those are suhweeeeeeet knives right there.

Very nice! Would I be wrong if I guessed that you also had some 4th of July knives?

I would guess that like the 4ths, these were "local issue only"? If so, the extra packaging is really a nice addition. Thank You for sharing.

The only 4th of July celebration knife I have is the single blade Trapper 296SC for 1999. Does anyone have any info on other styles/years of these issues.

I have a 2004 4th of July knife. (I think it is an 883UH) but I'm not sure. I don't have the ability to take digital photos (I know, lame ) but I think I can find a photo to link. Stand-by.
OK. I found it. Let's see if the link works.

I should also add that this is a photo sample and not the actual knife that I own. Mine is however NIB and identical in every way except for the serial#.

 

[Rusty1]

Wow, that is much nicer than my Trapper Eyegor, thanks for showing it, love the stag scales.

Michael, many thanks for posting the list above, just the thing I was looking for, Since I aquired the Trapper I have wondered if there was concise list of other knives issued, great stuff.

[Codger_64]

You're welcome. Also in this genre are the police and prison knives and the Christmas knives.

Hey folks, I resurrected this thread to add one more firehouse knife, the Napanoch Firehouse Commemorative. Also, I snapped a couple of pics of both Colonel Bradley firehouses for your viewing pleasure. The first is the old firehouse, still in use. The second shot is the "newer" firehouse, which is right across the street. I'll see if I can't get some photos of the other firehouses next time I'm in town:

Just snagged another one, I didn't realize they made so many! This one's from Newburgh, about 4 miles due East of Walden, right on the Hudson river:
