Cattaraugus Cutlery Co. Little Valley N.Y. 1886-1963

It looks like GALVARIC to me too. Must be a misprint.

[galvanic1882]

Thanks guys, no it says Galvanic the N is fancy and sorry for the bad picture

[FRJ]

Thanks Mike, I see it now. No apologies, glad to see this ephemera that is still with us.

[orvet]

Thanks guys for the help on my knife and for all the additional information!
Thanks for the ephemera Mike it always helps to make things more real, at least to me.
I am not a Cattaraugus collector, but the quality grinds on these tiny blades is rarely equaled even on much larger blades.
If I keep finding knives like this I may start being a Cattaraugus collector.

Here's a nice Cattaraugus jack. No cap and no half stops but a full nickel silver center liner. 3 1/4".
Plastic covers. There is a dimple on the cover pin just below the bolster. Watch the cover pop there.

I am always on the lookout for different stamped Catt's and here are 4 little boys knives. The small ones are marked CCC LITTLE VALLEY NY they are 2 5/8" closed and the larger one is 3 3/8" closed and is marked CATTARAUGUS in an oval over CUTLERY in a straight line and LITTLE VALLEY NY below that in an oval. First and only time I have seen this tang stamp. If anyone else has one please post it. Thanks Mike

Rare find Mike

Here's one I bought several years ago, don't think I ever posted it. Looks like it was never used.

MB,that is a dandy.

[galvanic1882]

Ooooo MB that is a great knife!!

[Mumbleypeg]

Mike I have seen a couple with that CCC stamp but sadly I don't have any myself. Thanks for showing them!

Dimitri, that is probably the best Catt wrench knife I've seen. Can't believe you've been holding out on us though!

Ken

Ken

Thanks Ken, they are hard to find in this condition most are very worn down or broken.

Thanks for the compliment Jim!

Here is a little Catt. of mine, I have a couple and will post them periodically. McCallum is a family name as well so it has that appeal for me.

[Miller Bro's]

Nice knife!

This is an old Catt. that came in a group of knives, from a guy whose mother did volunteer work at a church thrift shop. All of the knives were left in the pockets of clothing donated to the church over a long period of time. I was lucky to be the first fella to cross paths with him at a Duck Decoy show back about 15 years ago. There was 15 to 20 knives in a plastic basket, I bought them all. This Catt was one of them. Octagon shaped bolsters with the thinnest Indian Trail bone slabs. Each side is the thickness of a dime. It's hard to imagine how this knife was pinned together without cracking the bone. This is one of my favorite knives. Barry

Beautiful little knife !!

[JohnR]

Barry, very nice and unusual knife,can't recall ever seeing another.

Put this jack in another Catt thread but I think it belonged here also,this one shows little use.

[galvanic1882]

Great knife Barry and I believe a really old one. John beautiful bone on that jack!

[BWT]

John and Barry, great looking knives!!!

[FRJ]

Barry, that swell center pen is a real beauty.

John, you have a beauty there as well.

[Miller Bro's]

Here's a fixed blade for the till............
