Re: GOT SHIELDS?
Here's an Ebay auction photo for an old ebony handled Robeson coke bottle stabber, with sabre-ground master blade, and a nice crisp bomb shield.
There was another knife like this with bone handles posted on AAPK some time ago. I do not think that knife had a pattern number. This one does. It's 122149.
This is the second one of these I've seen on Ebay. Neither one has had a decent pen blade. Actually, the other one had a small clip in place of the pen, and I'm sure it wasn't original to the knife.
I'd sure like to find one of these in better shape! It's a classic pattern.
This shield is not nearly so nice as that on Dimitri's Empire above.

Re: GOT SHIELDS?
Pocketknives on Ebay are an almost endless source for interesting shields.
Here are two I came across today. Both these knives were put up by "Mosh45".
The pearl whittler is reportedly a Waterville, and the bone handled one a Hibbard, Spencer & Bartlett.
Interesting shields.
Not my knives, not my auctions, and I'm not bidding.

Re: GOT SHIELDS?
Phil,
Your welcome!
Mike,
Nice knife and shield
Here is another Friedmann & Lauterjung Celebrated Cutlery knife with an unusual and attractive gold backed tortoise shell shield.
The handles are genuine ivory, the front side has a silver rope inlaid around the outer edge and of course the tortoise shell shield. You don`t see too many knives with an inlaid horn, mother of pearl, or tortoise shell shield. It`s a very attractive combination!
M.B.

Re: GOT SHIELDS?
MM,
A quote from a 1914 magazine:
"The Maple Flakes are presumably Mapl-Flake, a direct contribution of the Kellogg family’s Battle Creek company, who invented the whole concept of breakfast cereals in the first place. They are, according to the advertisements of the time “simply the Flakes of the finest Washington white wheat, flavored with pure Vermont maple syrup’ (takes 96 hours to make)”, also conveniently made and served in “leading hotels, clubs and dining car systems” in “‘dainty one-portion package, wrapped in embossed onion-skin paper and sealed with gold seals.”
A picture of the old factory, the knife must have been a giveaway premium.

Re: GOT SHIELDS?
Charlie,
Here is another Waterville knife shield, like the one you posted earlier.
This is another knife from the "parts" box.
The jigged bone is pretty nice on this old knife!

Here's one I've not seen yet. Rob. Klaas of Kissing Crane fame. Not found anyone yet who can tell me about the single crane Klaas.

Sure hope you have some info for me. No one seems to know anything about this Crane Brand.

Re: GOT SHIELDS?
TJ,
I suspect the Crane Brand knife you have was a knife that was imported by Max Klaas between 1907-1914. After 1914 Metropolitan Cutlery Co. of New York owned the Crane Brand trademark, it probably was not used after the 1940`s
It is unusual. I have not seen another.
M.B.

Re: GOT SHIELDS?
I have an unmarked shield that exactly the shape of the "stainless" shield on page 2 or the Crane Brand pictured above on an unknown Trapper.
It has been said to be Schrade.
Any other thoughts?

I would certainly want that you would be correct on your dates, but I just don't think the knife is that old. Here is a full view of the knife, a 4-blade Congress
Here is another with the same tang stamp less the soligen mark:
This second "jack" is unused.
