Not me, but I wonder how many people are hitting the enlarge, file and save as buttons?

[tjmurphy]

I did and printed a pic. Oh, I'm so ashamed

[whitebuffalo58]

Got a feeling ya ain't alone TJ.

[tjmurphy]

Nice pic though

[edgy46]

Thanks Whitebuffalo. Now I know how to save a photo. We ludites learn very slowly.

[whitebuffalo58]

No problem Bill.

[whitebuffalo58]

Not to hijack the thread, but here's a pretty cool pic of the Barnsley Bros. factory in Monett, MO.

And another of the Imperial factory in Providence, RI

Here's a close-up of the sign on the corner.

LOL, it will be ok TJ. Mine looks pretty good.

[tjmurphy]

Maybe this would be a good thread to post pics of all the old knife factories we can find.

[vikingdog]

TJ, that's a great idea for a new thread.

That Holly photo is sad. It's an empty building. A lot of broken window glass.

I made a copy, too.

Here are a couple of other pictures that CCBill sent me:
Holly Manufacturing

Camillus Plant

Case Cutlery

[whitebuffalo58]

Holley looks like a much happier place in that one.
Here's a few. The first came from the Camillus Collectors site. The others, just various places. Had 'em too long to remember.

Never have come across a front view of Northfield.

...and of course, most everybody knows this one.

Thanks TJ for takin' this thread in this direction. Might we include inside factory shots as well?

[tjmurphy]

Don't know why not. I've got a few more that CCBill sent me last night. Will post ASAP.

Those are awsome! Like takin' a step back in time. Wouldn't it be cool to do a display with your best example from each of those companys and use the pic for a backdrop? Great pics CCBill and thanks TJ for postin' 'em.

Thanks Joe, I figured there had to be one out there somewhere.
Charlie, i'd have been amazed if you didn't have a few of the Robeson factory to post.
