VINTAGE REMINGTON R1823 WITH CURTISS BABY RUTH CANDY SHIELD

[CTAYLORMAN]

[attachment=0]100_1622.JPG[/attachment]I SAW THIS KNIFE AND JUST HAD TO PURCHASE IT! I LOVE THE OLD REMINGTON HANDLES AS WELL AS OTHERS. THIS ONE IS A VINTAGE REMINGTON R1823 SERPENTINE JACK WITH BEAUTIFUL JIGGED BONE HANDLES (ROGGERS JIGGED I THINK??). IT HAS A ROUND SHIELD THAT SAYS CURTISS BABY RUTH CANDY ON IT. I HAVE NEVER SEEN ANYTHING LIKE IT AND CANNOT FIND ANY DOCUMENTATION ON IT EITHER. I GUESS THIS WAS A COMMEMORATIVE FOR BABY RUTH CANDY BUT NOT SURE. I KNOW CURTISS (IF THEY ARE STILL AROUND) DONT MAKE BABY RUTH CANDY BARS ANYMORE. CAN ANYONE HELP ME WITH SOME INFORMATION ON THIS KNIFE OR WHERE I CAN LOCATE SOME INFORMATION AT? I AM LOOKING FOR THE AGE, VALUE AND WHERE/WHY IS WAS PRODUCED. WHATEVER INFO I CAN GET. THIS ONE IS GOING INTO THE COLLECTION!!! THANKS IN ADVANCE![attachment=1]100_1618.JPG[/attachment]

One of my rules is to not collect "add" knives.................................BUT what an exception to that rule that you have found!!!!!!! What a great find!

That was an excellent article. I actually already have the spearmint knife. It too is in Mint Condition. I intend on seeking out more of the rest. That is what makes it interesting!
