Trade-Up Certificate

[Bob W]

As long as I've been collecting OldTimer knives, almost five years now, there are still surprises here and there.

Tonight I received a belated christmas gift, a NIB 18OT, from my brother. It's a mid-date knife, with the two-piece wood grain box, red foam inserts, and the deeper delrin coloring. Inside the box was the typical Schrade brocure, "Use and Care of Your Schrade Knife," and this little gem:

"All requests must be received by March 31, 1990." And the qualifying Schrade knives are the 108OT, 34OT, 89OT, 152OT, LB5, 833UH, 158OT, 3OT, 8OT, 807UH. Reasonable clues to the age of the certificate and this 18OT.

A search of this forum for Certificate and a search for Trade-Up came up with no mention of these. You guys seen them before?

Anyway, I thought it was interesting and wanted to share...

I also wonder what happened to all the knives they must have received.

They got thrown in a box that LT has in his garage! I saw em there.

Bob,
I do seem to recall someone on here showing one of those before, but can't find it either. It is neat though!

I have several of those. Some are coupled with a yellow sticker on the sleeve. I'll have to dig them out.

They made $3.00 trade ups as well.

Great stuff guys I love seeing that old stuff. I would like to trade up a few of mine. any takers,lol- Joel

Mine is in the two-piece wood grain box and didn't come with the cardboard box sleeve, so it very well could of had a sticker like that too.

Thanks for posting those, Thawk. As many Old Timers as I have, this was the first Trade-Up coupon that I've seen.
