Re: Hardware Store and Distributor Knives
Really cool, Ike, like that Harrisburg connection.
I don't think I ever posted this BLISH MIZE & SILLIMAN HDWE CO. utility knife that I believe Utica made for Western. 4 3/4" 4 blade in what they may have called Gold Shell Pyralin (celluloid but seems to be pretty stable like old Case Goldstone). Goins says they came into existence in 1871 and may still be in operation. Case 6445R for size comparison.

Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

Here is a 4" Miller Sloss & Scott (1891-1901)stockman with their stiletto trademark on the tang. They were absorbed into Pacific Hdwe & Steel in 1901, who continued to use the stiletto mark.

Re: Hardware Store and Distributor Knives
I’ve posted this one elsewhere here before, but it belongs here also. Hacket-Gates-Hurty Co. whittler, I think probably French Ivory covers.

Re: Hardware Store and Distributor Knives
Had it for years. Levine and Price say the were wholesalers and possibly importers. No country stamp. Assume US. Only one I've seen. I have old Imperials with the same celluloid.

Re: Hardware Store and Distributor Knives
This pocket knife arrived today. It is one out of a group of five pocket knives that I bought, but not for this particular one. It is a SHAPLEIGH (D-E) HDW CO. B478, 2 blade, 3 tang stamps, 3 1/8" closed, advertising pocket knife. It says "CARDWELL WESTINGHOUSE" on one side and "FRICTION DRAFT GEAR" on the other side. If you Google the advertised company, there is a lot of information. I gave it a very mild cleaning, took some pictures and here it is.

Mn Dave just posted a Kelley How Thomson knife in "knife finds of the day", reminding me that I had never shown this one.
