These are my 898UH and 34OT collectors.
They are very similar. The 898 is the same length as the 34, about 3.25". The blades are similar, with the UH having a Turkish Clip. The Sheeps Foot and Spey blades are slightly thinner on the 898. The 898 has only one pin.
I'm 100% sure about the 34, it's in its original box with the white sleeve. The 898 I'm not as sure, since I have no papers or plus the end of the Uncle Henry Box has no pattern number. They both have the felt covered cardboard inserts, with indents to accomodate the size of the knives and shapes of the bolsters, so I feel the boxes came from the same era.
The Tang Stamp on the 34 is pretty straight forward, SCHRADE over NY U.S.A. over 34OT. The 898 is a little puzzling, S.C.C. + over 898UH. I've looked up old threads and realize it's been discussed here a few times before, but I thought maybe a new forum collector might like to see a fairly uncommon Uncle Henry that has a bit of a mystery. I've seen 3 of them for sale since September, so they are not too rare.
Or if anyone knows some new info about this nice little stockman with it's S.C.C tang stamp, I'd appreciate it.
