It's In The Mail

Just ordered this from Steve Pfeiffer's store.
6 Dot, 1974 6292 Texas Jack in Chestnut bone with CV blades.

I love those 92's Steve . They're just right to handle about anything.

I'm filing this under "Oops". But at least I didn't spend much on it. I knew I was watching this Col. Littleton, but forgot I had bid on it. Checking my email, I noticed I had won the auction on it; for under $10 shipped. It looks like it has never been carried or used. Col. Littleton wants almost $50 for these, and seeing as they are a Bear and Sons product, that's too much. I hope this one's of decent quality. The Bear items in my collection have been hit or miss--some stuff almost dangerous (I did have a lock fail because of their silly lever design on a Bear Jaws that cut me pretty bad), but the stuff they make for other companies is typically passable.

At 2 1/4" closed, it will make a great watch pocket knife. And legal pretty much all over the US.

Cody good pick up. I will be curious to hear your report after you get it in hand. I bet it turns out pretty knice.

I just found me another Old Timer variant.....
The Old Crafty 9547...

Sure looks like an unusual grind on the blade above the pull. I thought it was an "owner modification" but it is on both sides of the blade and I have seen a pic of another with the same grind. COOL

Won this today, should be in the mail to me on Monday. A Camillus advertising print block for a 1/2 dozen, No. P2, sheepfoot paring knives. Will fit in nicely with my other Camillus print blocks. Pictures are the seller's. I will update the pictures and post them in the Camillus forum when I get it.

That printer's block is a nice find!
You gonna ink it up and make some labels?

I might. I have to do some research to find out what kind of ink pad to use.
I would like to use an ink that cleans off easily as I am going to build some kind of display for these blocks
and I want them to be "clean."

The farther back you go on that pattern the more pronounced the swedge is. Nice one Mike.

Just purchased this knife, it "should" be in the mail on Monday. I know it's a Camillus 72 clone, but not which company made it.

Here is the title in the ad for the knife: "Vintage Hollinger Fremont OH, 2 Blade Serpentine Pattern Pocket Knife."
Here is the seller's description of the knife: "Original pocket knife, good condition."

The seller assured me that the pictures are of the "correct" knife, but didn't change the title.
The following pictures are the seller's. I will post my pictures in the Camillus forum (click here: viewtopic.php?f=63&t=62956#p746091) when I receive the knife and "clean" it up a bit.

With those orange handles, Ulster 63 or Sears 9494 made by Ulster would be my guess.

Post it in the 72 thread.

Didn't see that until after I posted here so I posted a second time in that thread.

Clear pics of an absolutely great knife. Lovely handles!!!

[cudgee]

Thanks, computer literacy is not exactly my forte' , just finding my way. The covers on the knife are old Oak. The pictures do not do it justice, feels beautiful in the hand. Have a great day and week.

Cudgee all I got is WOW, gorgeous knife. ×10

[Steve Warden]

Got a sweet one there, cudgee!
Well done with the pics!!

It is a gorgeous knife. As you, and everyone else would know, you cannot tell just by photo's. The feel in the hand, and the look to the naked eye is how we all judge a knife, and this knife ticks all those boxes. It is now the best in my collection, but i may be biased, because i really love wood scales. Thanks to yourself and everyone for all your kind remarks.

A couple of these "should" be here tomorrow, Monday. The rest arrive within a few days to a week.
ALL are the seller's pictures. I will re-post in the proper forums/threads after I receive them and
"clean" them. Four Camillus, an Imperial Scouting, another Geo Schrade wire handle, a Colonial, a
Klein & Son, Chicago and a Schrade. The Imperial, Colonial and the Klein knives were one lot.

[doglegg]

N Y NW those even make a mail box look good. Looking forward to your getting them.

I like those little Klein EOs. I do believe they, along with the regular Kutmaster ones are the only American made EOs still being made. I have 3 of them myself; one with linerlock, two without (I prefer the latter; the lockup isn't good with the linerlock). Around here, they're rather inexpensive, given the coal mines bought a ton of them. I like them as just something to throw in the pocket for light household stuff, but they are quite a capable pattern and will do heavy work. Been thinking about taking a couple of them and making something akin to the GEC Beer Scout.
