You Guys Got Me!

I was ridding the accumulation of all my folders; down to just two plus my SAKs.
Now I come over here to see what's going on...
I dig old stuff and I like bringing stuff back to life.
Besides Case, what other American makers should I go digging for?
Schrade, Camillus, Queen, Western, Voos, Schatt & Morgan. That'll get you started!
 
Don't forget Ulster, Hammer Brand, NYKC, Cattaragus (spelling?), and other long defunct Schrade US brands, Pre-war Robeson, Queen and, Russell, the Imperial Prov. RI, (Imperial Ireland are the same thing, just made offshore in Ireland, after the R.I. plant burned down) Case Bros. (not the same as W.R. Case & Sons), Utica, Schrade and Camillus made 300 series Buck knives, (the ones made by Schrade have the Swendon Key construction, those by Camillus have the regular (and the more reliable and reparable) pinned construction), Colonial, ...
I'm sure there are at least another 100 pre and post-war manufacturers I can't think of the name of off the top of my head ... sorry about that. OH!!!! and Novelty Knife Company. :)
Then on top of those, you have all the "Made in USA" stamped mystery brands :)

EDITED TO ADD: Pre-WW I Remington and other firearms manufacturers knives, and the PAL/Union Cutlery/Ka-Bar traditional folders from between the wars.

EDIT #2:
Please note that for some of the brands listed above, you will require a healthy bank account, or really good credit at the Bank, Savings and Loan, or Credit Union, as applicable.
