They were in the attic of a hardware store in business since the 1870`s. It was closed in the 1960`s, but the building remained in the family till 2008. The building was going to be torn down and these were found and lots of old knife boxes, I bought them all

I just sit here looking at all those pins, what a find. Don't think there are too any of those laying around.
Re: Cattaraugus Cutlery Co. Little Valley N.Y. 1886-1963
Nice find, Dimitri. Not too many of the mom and pop's around anymore. I don't think that Lowe's or Home Depot have attics.

Here is one you dont see to often.
It`s a small boy`s hunting knife with some of the best stag handles I have ever seen on an American made knife

here are a couple of CATTARAUGUS scouts. The first one is a salesman sample with different handles.

The whole idea of putting a compass on a slab of metal was crazy. I have a couple that the needle will change position if you tap the handle but not free wheeling.

JKB,
I have never seen it in print but, I believe you were supposed to take the compass out of the knife and hold it in your hand for it to work. I have several of these and the compass pulls right out with your fingernails. None of mine were ever glued in. This would account for the ones I have where the compass is missing. The bone after many years would shrink slightly and the compass would fall out
