Cool stamps RachelThanks for your interest, Gary.
W.H.Morley & Sons was one of the many brands made for Adolph Kastor and Brothers importers (who went on to own Camillus) The image is a four leaf clover, possibly representing the four Kastor brothers.

Here's a collage I found on the web of tang stamps from cutlery brands that A. Kastor is known, or suspected, to have had a hand in.

I hope everyone has a peaceful Memorial Day. I'll be carrying these:

I'm jealous ED. I always wanted to do a WESTPAC. Only West Coast ship I was stationed aboard was the USS Callaghan DDG-994.I forgot about my utility knife. It's only appropriate to show it on this hat as I spent quite a bit of my time in WESTPAC

Very cool and if I must add just gave me goosebumps.I'm jealous ED. I always wanted to do a WESTPAC. Only West Coast ship I was stationed aboard was the USS Callaghan DDG-994.
All we did was a SOUTHPAC on counter-narcotics operations with the Coast Guard. Saw Mexico and Central and South America.
We busted one 'go-fast' boat and confiscated 7.1 metric tons (121 bales) of cocaine. Turned it over to the DEA in San Diego.
This knife and I are definitely attached at the pocket. In this light, burgundy PLOW looks brown ... or no color at all ...

EDIT: I live just off post, Fort Rucker Army Air Training Command. They're working today, Memorial Day.
I see helicopters all the time but not several in formation fast and low, coming directly over my house at almost treetop level. AWESOME ... Sound of Freedom !!! HOO-AH !!!

I heard 'em coming from a good ways off. Couldn't figure what it was though. Too loud, low and rumbling for the normal helicopter flights around here. Figured it must be a BIG copter !!!Very cool and if I must add just gave me goosebumps.
I love it and so true ! The sound of Freedom !!!
I miss Derrick Bohn on this Memorial Day! Carrying one of his greatest productions, IMO!
The Willamette was named after a River in a fertile Valley in Oregon!! Bill at GEC did this knife right!! I wished at the time he had offered it to me as an SFO, but I'm glad Derrick got it; a great and generous man!! R.I.P.View attachment 1573987
Thank you. To be honest within the Coast Guard we do not do an adequate job of recognizing our own history in my opinion.It's nice to see the Coast Guard represented here. Oft times they are not at the forefront of our thoughts on this day but they have made many sacrifices throughout this country's history just as all the Services have.
