Schatt and Morgan, Titusville Pa. 1903 - 1933

That is so cool, I would love to get to do something like that. Harold

I'm not sure if this knife belongs in this thread cuz I don't generally collect these, so if it should be elsewhere kindly move it! This is a 'bomb" I received today from my pal ~Q~ in Hawaii, and since it's not a brand I collect I know very little about it. I'll describe what I see! It's 9 1/2" oal Schatt & Morgan slip-joint with a SS Wharn/sheepfoot blade with a very long pull, NS ribbed bolsters and shield, brass liners and pins, and Rosewood covers. Very strong pull and detent. Front tang stamp is "SCHATT & MORGAN CUTLERY CO. TITUSVILLE, PA.", and the back tang stamp reads "F&W" over "QTC". So, does it belong here? Thx!

[knowtracks]

You have very good friends Madmarco's!
That pattern is certainly a handful!
It is a modern S&M made under Queen as a-posed to an original S&M ....... but I don't think anyone will really mind it's inclusion here.

Thanks for posting!

Oh, my goodness! I couldn't figure out what you meant Dave, but then I looked at the title of the thread again and saw the dates, duh, the knife I posted was in no way built between those dates! My apologies, like I said, I don't follow these so S & M was all I looked for when looking for somewhere to post it, got a bad habit of doing that and it needs correcting. As for having very good friends Dave, you don't know the half of it! Thanks for the correction! P.S.-If that's you in your avatar, I love the stash!

I attended the Queen Factory auction in 2019 and went through the whole building and basement looking at the thousands of unfinished blades as well as the un repaired knives ( I bought quite a few and restored 13 so far) was a site to see... kinda sad too. My mom was born in Titusville I only live about 42 miles away now.I just paid my son's college tuition so I only spent $450.00 that day but I would of tripled that.I did get two S&M auto's and one Queen,So far restored 2 gonna do one more this winter.I have a lot of paperwork as we bought everything in the MGr's office including file cabinets, chair, computers, desk filled with Queen, S&M, Moore Maker, Remington purchase orders and knife drawings/ tracings with design changes and updates for department head meetings. Pretty cool stuff
[/just curious. Did you find any o purchase orders that Queen City or Queen continued to supply contract knifes to Claus after they bought out Shatt and Morgan?

Lots of great knives in this thread!

Schatt & Morgan Cutlery Co Titusville PA
WW1 era, 1915.
The Arrow & C stamp on the spike indicates it was intended for the Canadian military.
Picked it up a couple days ago. Pics are as-found condition. Pretty big hefty knife, definitely built for rough duty. Great bone.

[Madmarco]

That's a very nice HOK you have there, T22, thanks for showing it to us!

Thank You Men!
A couple of split-back Whittlers, except they both have a manicure blade as one of the secondaries.

Something not seen to often, a fixed blade Schatt from PA !

I believe it's called an Outer's pattern.

Yes it is! I've used it in a few different times. It goes along with the other items from the "Fur Trade Era"
