Re: Cutlery Catalog Images
Wonderful Pages Monte,
Belknap sure offered beautiful knives. It is amazing to consider the beginning of the great depression had just kicked in when this catalog came out. When the Civilian Conservation Core was started in 1933 I think it was $1 a day, and would have been considered a good job (albeit a tough one) as you got food and housing as well. I think that puts some of the prices into perspective, of course they are wholesale in the catalog. It is interesting, the prices for a high quality knife then are roughly comparable to the prices for a high quality knife now.

Here are some more New York Knife Co. from about 1906. This is the beginning of the pen knife section.

Here is a rare one from 1914. It is a Press button Guardian. This was the first year it was issued for sale, $19 per dozen then, $2,000 a piece now if you can find one.

Re: Cutlery Catalog Images
Thanks again Beechtree, after looking at these I wonder why there aren't more Primble knives available. Well at least there aren't many in my area.

Thanks Monte,
Belknap's primary area in the country was the central and southern portions, being based out of Louisville, KY.
I too like the wharncliffe and the congress, I also like the anglo saxon pattern.

Re: Cutlery Catalog Images
Beechtree, it looks like you.have more than a few of the old hardware catalogs. I have been looking for some of them for about a year and a half. I have only seen the one I retrieved the pics from and it's not mine. I have looked on the iternet and ebay had a few.but they were to expensive. Also, I have been to all the antique stores in my area but haven't seen any. I talk to the man that let me use his and I asked him where I might find some and he told me at tool shows. Do you know where else one might find such catalogs?

Re: Cutlery Catalog Images
Thanks Big Homer!
Monte, Tool shows are a good place to look. The internet is another option. The real difficulty is in the price. I also have an antique store friend who gets in this kind of thing as he likes books. You might try asking around any antiquarian type book stores.

Re: Cutlery Catalog Images
Thanks Beechtree, I know one man that collects books, advertising, and other paper antiques. He said he has been looking but no such luck. By the way great looking millers you have I would have commented earlier but was overwhelmed with paranoia while going through the ones I've accumulated.
Thanks Monte
Thanks Monte
Re: Cutlery Catalog Images
Thanks Monte! I understand how it can be, that is an awful sinking feeling when you take stock of a counterfeit knife. I hope it all worked out for you.

Re: Cutlery Catalog Images

So everything is on the up and up.Beechtree wrote:Thanks Monte! I understand how it can be, that is an awful sinking feeling when you take stock of a counterfeit knife.

Re: Cutlery Catalog Images
The following pages from the 1917 Keen Kutter catalog are courtesy of the website
'www.Collectors-of-Schrades-R.us'. I am sure this is a familiar to most of you. I emailed the site administrator and received permission to post them here.
I believe there are about 29 pages missing from what would have been the originally catalog. The pdf jumps from pg 2340 to pg 2351 (10 pages). Also, the pattern index goes up to pg 2369 and the pdf only included pages to 2352 (another 19 pages missing?).
Anyway, here are the 36 pages that were there.

Re: Cutlery Catalog Images
It certainly is a great website. Lot's of cutlery history regarding other manufacturers as well. Larry was incredibly accommodating, he answered my first email to request permission within an hour or so. He asked that I give him time to put together a pdf of the Keen Kutter catalog without the water marks he had put on his site. The next evening he emailed me a pdf without the watermarks.
