Re: Can't make out stamp???

Thanks for showing me what it is SUPPOSED to look like, Ray. Great looking knife you got there! ::groove:: I don't think I'm going to get a blade etch like that no matter how hard I try. :lol: I'll be satisfied if I get it looking 1/4 as good as yours.

Good start to a very addictiong hobby, Steel. ::tu:: attaboy :mrgreen: Never heard of that name brand before??? Most likely made on contract by one of the large manufactures.

Re: Can't make out stamp???

Thanks for the info, fellers! ::tu:: You guys are good!!! ::nod::

This knife is a bit of a relic but I didn't have a Schlieper brand in my "stamp collection"
so I went ahead and got it. It was cheap.

Guess I'll have to wait til it gets here to see if it will clean up.

Can't make out stamp???

Ran across this in a new listing but can't quite make out the stamp.
Seller can't make out the stamp either.

All I can tell is it is "_ _ _LL _ _" over "GERMANY." Looks like there are a couple of "L's"
in the middle????

Anyone dare to guess?

Thanks, Joe

Great input guys!

Notice that they referenced to the shields as "name plates."

These were original ads I ran across and copied from that
auction site and posted... - "for educational purposes only." ::paranoid::

1917 Walden Knife Co. "How It's Made!"

I stumbled across a couple of 1917 ads for E.C. Simmons and there supplier; the Walden
Knife Company.

I thought these were pretty interesting as one page shows how there Keen Kutter knives
are made from start to finish!

Enjoy!

Re: Some flea market finds-Worry about "Gassing"?

The shell handle Imperials don't gas for some reason!? They'll shrink up away from the bolsters though. The yellow Colonial has plastic on it - no worries there. Can't tell what the small yellow one is? The tip bolster Imperial is defiantly celluloid. That's the one I would isolate from the others. ...
