OK, so my poetry isn't as good as Don Luis'...I still like automatics, Drown Royal...and hate scorpions.
Not quite baseball, hot dogs, apple pie, and Chevrolet, I know, but it was all I had.

............I guess this is as good of time as any to announce my little surprise. The village of Ellenville ( where Schrade was located since the mid fiftys ) has a public library and museum. I will not go into all that has transpired however suffice it to say that I received authorization and for the last couple of weeks have been installing an exhibit of personally owned items in an allocated area in the museum. While it is a fairly generous amount of room the amount of items I have available have forced me to simply concentrate on the approx 50 years Schrade was in Ellenville ( rather than being able to encompass the complete history of the cutlery industry in the Huidson valley. Which goes a hundred years further back.) I simply have to much stuff.

It should be noted that this exhibit ( aside from a couple of very limited and legal dispalys is sans automatic knives. ). Inclusive of this display are original Schrade Walden display cases. Filled with original bone Schrade Walden NEW (OLD STOCK ). The original corner stone of the building and much more I will be going further into detail as the project continues. LT PS the exhibit should be officially open in a week or two it is mostly there now however the written documentation ect will be a few days and it will be there through most of February.

Maybe...perhaps... the good folk of Ellenville, with a direct connection to the former cutlery companies located there, will see this initial exhibit as an important part of their local history and take the initiative to expand the displays, possibly even get Heritage fund grants to raise a brick and mortar home for a real cutlery museum, something the region, and the nation sorely lacks.

Mick57,
I knew we could count on LT for a great response.
His CD is available from him directly. Email him at lt632ret@frontiernet.net
I am not sure if he has copies of the book to sell but they can be gotten on EBay, Amazon and other internet book sellers.

Thanks Larry. I appreciate it.
 
Hm! My son and I used to do a lot of fishing a little northwest of there for trout and shad! It was great country at that time.
Since my son still lives near Endicott,I may have to slip over there to see the exhibit.Wonder if they allow cameras?
 
They told me that the rule was no pictures I told them that was the rule. Bring your camera. LT
