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

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

Got a feeling ya ain't alone TJ.

Nice pic though

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

No problem Bill.

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.

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

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

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?
WB

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.

TJ and WB
Thank you for sharing those lovely Pictures.

And don'f forget CCBill

My bad. sorry Bill
It was not intentional

Front views of Northfield

They were some crafty builders back then

Here are some postcards and photos of the Robeson Cutlery Company, Perry, New York.

Excelcior knife

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.
This thread just keeps gettin' better all the time! I love that kinda stuff!
