Re: It's In The Mail
Skip, your Craftsman looks like a Schrade USA 863 Carpenters Whittler. Maybe one of the Schrade experts will know for sure. I bought a NOS 1987 made Case 63087 Medium Stockman this morning, will see it sometime mid to late next week. OH

Re: It's In The Mail
That's a great looking knife that you ordered. The Craftsman that I'm expecting, "should" be available for me to pick up at the post office today. I need to check the tang stamp(s). I'm 99.99% sure that Schrade made it. Schrade's Carpenter Whittler is pattern 863 and the Schrade made (Sears) Craftsman Carpenter Whittler is pattern 9494. I now have 7, Schrade 863s and with the one I get today, I now have 6 Craftsman 9494s. Basically, the only differences between the 863 & the 9494 knives are the shields and the tang stamps. I will clean it up if necessary. I'll take some pictures and post them in the appropriate location(s).Old Hunter wrote: ↑Sat Jan 25, 2020 5:25 pm Skip, your Craftsman looks like a Schrade USA 863 Carpenters Whittler.

Thanks Skip, I look forward to seeing your photos. I own one Schrade 863 and carry it occasionally, good EDC pocketknife. OH

Or Ulster. (Theirs was a 63. Same, same Schrade 863.) Those old buggers confuse me so I ignore all that minutia.New_Windsor_NY wrote: ↑Sat Jan 25, 2020 5:36 pm I'm 99.99% sure that Schrade made it.

Re: It's In The Mail
I figured I needed a Congress knife since I didn't have one ..... So...
This Ulster Congress is on it's way to my collection.
It's an interesting joker....
. It has 2 inside liners..... Hmmmmmm..... kinda like 2 knives put together.
Looks like fun.

Re: It's In The Mail
Here is another one that is on the way.....
I don't know WHAT you would call it other than a novelty knife but looks like you pull out one end and the blade folds out.
I thought it was cool because the part you pull looks like the top of an old radio or TV tube.....

I have a couple RCA items.
A very old Ulster and a "Floating Tube" letter opener.
I think your end cap would be a old tube type.

Re: It's In The Mail
I obtained this pocket knife today, another Imperial "Longhorn Steer Head." A soon to be, much welcomed, new addition to the zoo. It appears to be in decent condition. The main blade has a wonda edge. When I receive it, I will give it the once over. I will take some pictures and post them in the appropriate location(s).

Actually, the correct name is: "Electron Tube" within the handle. It does not visually appear as a "Tube" we visually picture today, however, still RCA refers to it correctly as a "Electron Tube" In 1920 RCA began the first commercial "Electron Tube" manufacturing, also called "Vacuum Tubes."

Re: It's In The Mail
Well, good for RCA. After three times through Basic Electronics, once with the Marine Corps in 1963, once with the US Army in 1964 and once with NCR "National Cash Register" in 1967 (the age of transistors) I never heard it (as I can remember) referred to as an "Electron Tube". It was always just called a "tube" and there were Power Tubes in the power supplies and just plain "tubes" in the signal circuitry. Just my personal experience.

Re: It's In The Mail
Interesting old tubes gents - my experience was to go with my Dad to the drug store where he would put the suspect tube in a tester and then select the right tube from the rack, a trip home and Dad would “fix” our TV with the new tube. He was an Infantryman (later a Red Leg) so his knowledge of fixing TV’s must have been self taught!
Mike, nice old Ulster Congress, looks to have pretty full blades.
New Windsor, how many Steer Head Knives do you have now? The main blade on your latest is perfect for a rope worker.
Just checked off a box on my knife want list, Boker USA 492 Barlow on the way from Matt Sanders AAPK store (Matt’s pictures). OH

Re: It's In The Mail
Counting the two that I haven't received yet, I have 24 "Head" pocket knives and 4 "Head" fixed blade knives. Out of the 24 pocket knives, 16 are "Deer Head", 8 are "Longhorn Steer Head" and the 4 fixed blades are "Moose Heads."Old Hunter wrote: ↑Thu Jan 30, 2020 10:58 am New Windsor, how many Steer Head Knives do you have now?

I just obtained this pocket knife for best offer. Another Imperial "Deer Head" joins the zoo. It'll get a once over when I receive it. I'll take some pictures and post them in the appropriate location(s).
***** A special note of THANKS to Old Hunter for notifying me of the sale of this particular pocket knife. *****

Re: It's In The Mail
I just acquired, for best offer, this (probably Schrade made) Craftsman, 3 blade, swelled center, "whittler" pocket knife. It's a pattern 9494 and it looks like it's not stamped or marked as such. When I receive it, it'll get the once over. I'll take some pictures and post them in the appropriate location(s).

Re: It's In The Mail
I found another old bone schrade jr cattle knife but this one has a shapleigh diamond edge stamp. Decent shape, decent price. Should be good for fiddlin' with and toting around.
I swear these schrade jr cattle knives (and the schrade made ulster's) are the most addictive thing I've ever encountered. I think I have a dozen now, and just can't stop.

Re: It's In The Mail
Been wanting one of these for some time now. This will be my first Hen & Rooster that don't reproduce.
It says Millennium on the shield. What do you folks think, are those bone handles? And is this considered to be a Whittler, a Stockman or something else? What would you call it? Thanks for your comments and time.
These are the sellers pictures. More pictures when it get's here.
