Some Cattaraugus Items

The Cattaraugus Cutlery Company was started by John Champlin and his son Tint in 1882. It was first incorporated under the name J.B.F. Champlin and Son as a wholesale distribution company based in Little Valley, New York. The business proved to be a successful endeavor, and it soon branched into a knife production company named Cattaraugus.

Thanks Mike,
That photo you posted with 3 pearl letter openers makes me salivate!

Here's a shot of a decal from a large Catt display case at the American Museum of Cutlery.

Here are a couple of CATTARAUGUS CUTLERY COMPANY items that I very recently acquired.
The first item is a CATTARAUGUS DUPLEX RAZOR HONE.
The stone measures 2" X 5 1/2" X 1/2."
The top of the box is pretty worn, but CATTARAUGUS is still visible, barely.
This will display nicely.

The second item is in my next post.

Here's the second item.
It's a CATTARAUGUS CUTLERY COMPANY pocket knife store display.
I believe the spring was used to hold the pocket knife that was on display, in place.
In this case, it would've been a, according to the label, pattern #23222 pocket knife.
It's in very good condition and it will display nicely.
It measures 2 3/4" X 4 5/8" X 2 3/4."

It is stamped W. & H. CO (Whitehead & Hoag Company).
It's 1 1/8" in diameter.
A big THANK YOU goes out to Mike, aka galvanic1882 for selling this item to me.

Another, my second, CATTARAUGUS CUTLERY COMPANY time card.
This one is for John Schultz.
40 hours worked, $20 earned.
Yes, this is the same time card that is posted 3 posts above this one.
I didn't post that one. I didn't own this time card when that was posted.
I own it now. I'm posting it again, front and back.
Captions, if any, are on the BOTTOM of the corresponding picture(s).

Very recently I obtained another CATTARAUGUS CUTLERY COMPANY pocket knife box/display.
The spring was used to hold the pocket knife that was on display, in place.
In this case it would've been a, according to the label, pattern #22459 pocket knife.
It's in good+ condition and it will display nicely.
It measures 2 3/4" X 4 5/8" X 2 1/2."

***** The Measurements Of The Other Cattaraugus Box That I Posted
Were Wrong. It's Exactly The Same Size As This Box. *****

Nice find Skip. ::tu:: Those old boxes are dangerous - now you have to find the knife pattern that came in it! :lol:

I have a few boxes that I need
to find the "go with" pocket knife.
It's just another fork in the road of collecting.

This knife has iron bolsters and iron back springs, probably as old as the box.
