I haven't been there, Tom. It's just the kind of place I would enjoy. I would love to get there sometime.
Thanks for the link. I've got it on my favorites.

Re: Landers Frary and Clark
I posted a picture of the 9 LF&C service catalogs that recently found their way into my collection. Here's a few more pieces that came with the purchase, I feel very blessed to be the current conservator of these items. Sorry for the reflection of the bad photographer in the display glass.

Re: Landers Frary and Clark
Those display cases are sweet!!!!!! I hope you get them filled up and show them off. I really like them. Thanks for sharing.
Re: Landers Frary and Clark
Incredible find, Tom! Great display cases, they appear to be in very good condition. Looking forward to seeing the catalog scans, to find that many catalogs from the same company is amazing to me.

Beauty Joe - that knife first appears in my 1914 catalog so she could be over 100 years old - thanks for sharing her with us.

Re: Landers Frary and Clark
That's a very nice knife, TheMadHungarian. Nice photo too.
Here is a very nice Tuxedo that is quite well dressed. Unsharpened, crisp little blades. 3 inches.
Very slippery on the tooth, thus, celluloid.

Re: Landers Frary and Clark
Nice L. F. & C. Knives and other items. I have two L. F. & C. Universal knives. The first one is a pen knife with the #02275. I believe I made my intro to AAPK with this knife. There was a bit of a controversy with regards to the model number and the bone scales. The model number was never found in anyone's books so I sort of came in with a bang. I believe Lee (LongBlade), said it was probably made very early on - 1912 or so. The scales, as a consensus, were the result of a re-handling job. The second one is a pruner knife with cocobolo(?) wood, model #2132.
Re: Landers Frary and Clark
Nice knives Felix. I have the following LF&C Catalogs:
(1) "Catalogue No. 48 1914"
(2) "Service Catalog No. 61 1919"
(3) "Service Catalogue No. 261 1922"
(4) "Catalogue No. 262 1922"
(5) "Jeweler's Catalogue No. 12 1926"
(6) "Sectional No. 1 1926"
(7) "Supplement To Cutlery Catalog No. 1 1928"
(8) "Sectional Catalog No. 31 1931"
and none of them list a model #02275 so Lee may be correct with the circa 1912 call.
Your model 2132 is listed in catalogs 1, 2, 3, 4, 6 and 8 above and originally sold for $16/dozen (yup $1.33 each), was 4" long with cocobolo handles, glazed pruning blade, iron bolsters and iron lined.
Both knives are winners in my neck of the woods!

Re: Landers Frary and Clark
Thanks, Bestgear. I thought I'd include a close up photo of the model number. I think I remember seeing a model #02276 but no #02275bestgear wrote:Nice knives Felix. I have the following LF&C Catalogs:
