Re: It's In The Mail
Snatched this one a couple of days ago but haven't got it yet. Premier Lifetime made a really good knife (this one was made in Germany) but for whatever reasons they don't bring much money. Sellers pictures.

Re: It's In The Mail
I mainly collect fixed blades, but there are several categories of folding knives that I "accumulate" - -
First, a category of folders I accumulate is advertising knives related to feed stores. A paternal great-grandfather, my paternal grandmother, my maternal grandfather and my father all ran feed stores in various small towns and communities in Texas - Noack, Taylor, Rockdale, Georgetown and Bartlett.
My latest incoming instrument of death and destruction in this genre is a humble "nutter" by Kutmaster, advertising Kent Feeds, a mid-west brand.
Another genre indicative of my warped sense of humor is airline knives. I mean, what better way to demonstrate hypocrisy than to display items advertising companies who now ban the possession of said advertisements while using the services being advertised?
This little gem is a 25+ y.o. example of an inexpensive Chinese imitation of a successful product - a SAK-style multi-function knife representing Continental Express, a budget airline started in 1986 and a regional venture between Continental and United.
And last, but not least, - a Coupe Choux (Cabbage Cutter), aka the M1831 French Artillery Short Sword coming from the UK, so it will be a while before I get my grubby paws on it.

Re: It's In The Mail
Fished this one out of the bay yesterday. First purchase in a long time.
Odd 3-bladed Utica made for S.H. Kress. Google says they were a chain of five and dimes.
Just under $12 shipped . . . .

I like Cattle Knives Royal, looks like a nice, old example of one. OH

Re: It's In The Mail
Landed a couple Congress knives yesterday, the Northfield looks interesting, will have to see if I hit a home run when it shows up.
Re: It's In The Mail
John, that Northfield looks like the real deal. I hope that's a good one for you.
I hope you show it off when you get it.

Re: It's In The Mail
Until I looked it up, I thought you had mistaken it for Kresge's 5¢&10¢ stores. You know those today as K-Mart. I don't recall ever seeing one of the S.H. Kress stores. Checking Wikipedia, I guess I don't recall seeing one because it was a southern brand.royal0014 wrote:Fished this one out of the bay yesterday. First purchase in a long time.

Re: It's In The Mail
I remember a Kress five & dime when I was a young boy. When we went into town, Orlando, Mother would sometimes go to the Kress store. That was back in the early '50s.
Treefarmer
Edit: had to google Kress, interesting history, including segregated lunch counter issues. I remember the 2 water fountains on the wall and the way they were marked. The store I remembered is now a fancy steak house on west Church Street in Orlando according to Wikipedia. West Church street just off Orange Avenue was a favorite place as a boy and teenager. There was an ancient hardware store on the south side of the street, Bumby Hardware, wood floors, walls covered with new and used guns and of course any hardware item ever made. Across the street was B.E. Purcell a general merchandise store, it catered to the ranch people. They sold saddles, boots, washing machines, clothes, etc.. Bought my 1st Stetson there, a beaver fur, Silver belly color. Genuine 501 Levi Strauss blue jeans were $3.50 per pair and as I recall they were shrink to fit back then. That's way before some of these strange folks decided it was cool to wear real Levis. I best not go there.
I must be gettin' old, this is the 2nd time I've reminisced today.
