Schatt and Morgan, Titusville Pa. 1903 - 1933

Schatt & Morgan knives were first manufacturer back in 1890. The Queen Cutlery company made most of the more recent examples, but Schatt had its own plant in its earlier years that cranked out the oldies. There is no shortage of fantastic Schatt & Morgan knives in existance that have been made over the brand's long & storied history.

Schatt and Morgan, Titusville Pa. 1903 - 1933

Post by knowtracks »

By the time S&M left New York in late 1902, they were making some of the best cutlery in the USA. After moving to Titusville the company enjoyed a rapid growth, doubling the size of their factory. By 1911 S&M were producing 600 patterns of pocketknives and had sold millions of pocketknives and razors.
Please share anything you might have with a T-ville stamp!!

I have found that Stag is rather scarce on an original S&M....

Beauties all...very nice knives, knowtracks. You have some super sweet S&Ms, for sure. ::tu::

This is my favorite one from my collection:

Schatt & Morgan Wharncliffe Half Whittler pattern #2156
PC290019.JPG
PC290023.JPG
PC290029.JPG
PC290016.JPG

Apparently it is called "Imitation Stag" in the catalog, but it looks a lot like Greenbone to me (thank you, Bruno, for researching and identifying it).

Another delicious set of bones. Wow, nobody makes it like that these days unfortunately. Fabulous. Lost technology/art. Sad.

This is a pruner that was in pretty rough shape that I had cleaned up, re-handled, backspring filed and a fancy bail added!
Back in the day when you could still buy Mammoth Ivory online, I picked up the covers for this project.

Absolutely gorgeous mod: the mammoth, the file work...WOW...very nice. I'm turning green with envy :mrgreen: at all these sweet S&Ms you're showing, Dave, and kicking myself for selling most of my S&M collection (although I must admit, it's nice to have the new roof on my house that the sale helped pay for). ::mdm::
