WOW! Those last three knives are great! I couldn't pick a favorite if I had to.

Gtandpa Joel, 1872 - 1942 I didn't get to know him well but he was my hero. Gram gave me this in about 1953 with the admonition to keep it in the family. Not sure of it's birthday but it was sureley before I was born and I am 70+

Re: Lets show some Old and Rare ones.
As a grandpa to grandson heirloom, that's right up there with Willie's Case Tested XX slot knife.
My grandfather and namesake was a lifelong master machinist, but he owned the crappiest knives ever made. He must not have known that I would one day be keenly interested in such, or he would have bought better cutlery.
Loving that Marbles.

Re: Lets show some Old and Rare ones.
Papa Joe Carner's family was originally from Franklin County KY. Not sure when they moved to Arkansas but it was flight from the feuds going on at that time. Some of his (my) people are buried in the Hatfield Cemetery near West Plains MO. He went to work for the AT&SF Railroad sometime in early 1900s. His first station in AZ was at ST Johns - probably one of the most desolate places in that state. Gram Em was a hunter/trapper in those days. Papa Joe bought her a Winchester M1912 20GA and she became a real outdoors person. I still have the 20GA, her KA-BAR hunting knife as well as her little Catteraugus pen knife.

Re: Lets show some Old and Rare ones.
I love the family heirloom knives.
My Granddad Vincent made this knife & hatchet probably around 1920 while working in a foundry in Reedsport Oregon. He carried the knife and hatchet when he cruised timber for the C.C.C. during the Depression. He carved his initials, RV, on the sheath for the hatchet and on the end of the hatchet handle.
When I was a kid my dad carried the knife for his hunting knife until he got a Schrade Walden 225H in the mid 1960s.
I have the knife my granddad made as well as my dad’s old 225H. My dad still has the hatchet, but I get it when he is done with it.
Heirloom knives have a way of connecting us to our loved ones who have gone.
To use something that he probably used every day is really special.
You must really cherish that Marbles. Neat knife!

Family hieirlooms are a link with the past, especially the hand made items.
This is my most prized knife. Made from a planer blade by my Grandfather Archie Edward Wright 1888-1981 in the 1920's

Re: Lets show some Old and Rare ones.
Bill, hold on to those memories. Pass along and keep them and the knives in the family.
Have a Robeson that belonged to my wife's granddad, he passed sometime in the 50's.
Have a couple of Case EDC's and a Primble EDC that belonged to my wife's Dad, he passed in the 70's.

Re: Lets show some Old and Rare ones.
Thanks Phil, yep, he got his money's worth from his knives.
Re: Lets show some Old and Rare ones.
Howdy folks,
I thought I`d share this story on how my Dad got the knife that you see in the photo`s attached. Dad was born in 1928 and as he and the family would always go into the corner drug store after Sunday church and have a soda fountain or ice cream cone. Well they had one of those contraptions that a person could put a coin into and then try to manipulate a big old crane to locations where they has different things like knives, small dolls, knick knacks and of course they always had one or 2 items that had some real value to entice the person to come back time and again trying to win it. Dad had his eye on thie old Imperial hatchet knife and of course the crane was never stout enough or fast enough to pick it up and drop it in the shute, but as Dad told the story, he would try week after week after week to get it. So, in the mid to late 1930`s as the depression hit everyone hard, Dad would spend his hard earned change on nothing but this old knife. Well, one Sunday, they went into the store and the owner told my family that due to bad business they were goung to have to close the store. Then, the owner went to the contraption and opened it up and took the knife and handed it to my Dad who was elated. He told Dad that while many people had tried to win that knife that he was sure that no one had put more money into that machine trying to win it and said that Dad deserved the knife. Well, many years later Dad got his knife collection out and was telling me the story on where he got this knife and I could just see the gleam in his eye as he handed it to me. It was the first of many knives that he gave me over the years and I`m sure that the reason I love collecting knives was in fact due to this story. I hope you enjoy the story and the photos.

Re: Lets show some Old and Rare ones.
Yep, Gino and Dale, it`s my favorite knife although I`m sure I have older and more rare knives than the old hatchet knife. Odd thing about that old hatchet knife also. Imperial double stamped it, apparently the first stamp was a little too light to suit them so they stamped it again. Everytime I pick up that knife I recollect Dad and my Grandads stories of growing up in the early 1900`s(grandad was born in 1908), hunting, fishing, knife collecting etc(grandad was an old coon hunter and I shot my first coon out of a tree at age 5 with his old 1908 Remingtom .22 semi automatic which is in my gun collection now). Both of them are gone now but the stories and hand me downs live on and keep their memory fresh in my mind. More valuable than anything to me.

That is so true Bob.
I have my Granddad’s .22 Remington pump. Dad gave it to me a few years ago. I must have killed 10,000 grey diggers (ground squirrels) with it when I was a kid. Dad told me one time that that rifle had probably put more meat on our family table than all the other guns we ever owned put together. It fed 3 generations of my family.
I am truly blessed that both my parents are still living and in reasonability good health. They are 82. They still have 5 acres but have gotten rid of most of the farm animals. They still have a dog and a few chickens. Mom likes the fresh eggs and I cannot remember when Dad didn’t have a dog, at least not for very long.
It is neat how knives, guns and other things remind us of the ones we love so much. I can pass the stories and the things on to my children, but I can’t pass the love I had for my Granddad. For that I have to pass my love for them on to them and new memories and new mementos so they will have the stories and love to pass on to their children & grandchildren.
