Two recent acquisitions in mint condition. Found at the Dalton Knife Show. There are still out there.

I remember seeing the one on the right
Both of 'em are real lookers

Those are really nice nifbuf

I missed em both, good eye

You missed them both, I think, because David bought them quite early during the Dalton Show. I think they were already on his table when I walked by to say hello on Friday.

Beautiful knives.

BTW; I'm totally grooving on that all metal Red Goose Shoes knife.

Why is it that we want what we were unable to get when we were boys.......or girls?

Maybe our allowance money might be a little larger Charlie.

Th' Squirrel nailed it!

Here is an old knife ad I found, it shows several boy`s knives.

Note the single bladed Barlow knife they offered

A boy`s scout knife

This Hotchkissville, Ct. knife fits in here.
Thanks.

Beauty Joe!

And rare too

Thanks Dimitri.
Rare indeed. I don't know when I'll see that stamp again.

That is one of the most attractive tang stamps from that era of any of the N.E. makers, IMO

Also that little line under the "o" in Co. should dispel the myth that all knives with this feature came from Germany, it just isn`t so.

That is a handsome knife! I love the simplicity of the pattern.

Ray

Thank you, Ray. That does describe it pretty well. I tried to show it's size but of coarse the image is distorted. It's actually 3 1/8".

Dimitri, I had to look at the stamps again and I took two more pictures. I almost posted the pen blade stamp because I thought it looked better but went with the Spear blade. I'm glad I did. I/we would have missed out on that bit of information if I had chose differently. No line under the O on the secondary. I love those little bits of information. If I could just remember them.
By the way, I think TJ has this stamp too.

I am glad you did too, I have long know this as I have a few of these as well, your not going to find this kind of information in any knife book

Great thread guys! I happen to have a few of these myself. From top to bottom, ULSTER, Westonholm, IMPERIAL GERMANY and 2 UNITED CUTLERY.
Group shot first.

Whoa! A few? You been holding out on us Perry!

Very nice, Perry.
Check out the condition of them too!

Joe

Lol, not really Dimitri, just too darn busy. Thanks Joe and D! The 2 XLs are made of a heavier metal than the other 3.

Very nice example of H'Ville. I do have one, though not nearly as nice as yours. Bought it mainly for the stamp. Single blade, smooth bone handles, no underline under the "o" in Co.

Very cool Murph! The old stamping used by one of favorite older companies. American Shear and Knife, probably made shortly before their big fire round 1914!

Co. o underline ?

Harold

Great looking knives, Perry.

See FRJ's pics on page 3 of this thread. The "o" in Co. is superscript(?) and underlined.

Thank you much, Joe!
