I picked up this nice Wards tip bolstered pen today at our local flea market for a couple of bucks. A cheaper knife, but still usable.

A cool etched stag folder with a lot of neat features, secondary sheepsfoot blade to name one... Coined liners a nice touch. I believe Camillus made for Sears and Roebuck

This Congress is 3 1/4" with all blades stamped Montgomery Wards Chicago. I'm thinking this is a early one, any ideas on who made it ?

I picked up this nice Wards bone handled stockman recently. It is in good shape for EDC use. To my eye it is very reminiscent of a Camillus stockman I have, could have been made by them.

While not a pocket knife, this is a Sears ad from April 1950.
It is advertising a Craftsman, key ring pattern or style, pocket knife.
Caption(s), if any, are on the BOTTOM of the corresponding picture(s).

Here’s a few pics of various pieces . Have posted some over on the Schrade / Craftsman thread but don’t think here ?
Not sure what qualifies for this “ traditional “ thread but will have a stab at it . Various manufacturers, various models and time periods so if any questions please ask .
Have a question here about the Wilbert . Was this made for Sears and by who and when ??? In the very early 1900 s that’s the case as we’ve seen from catalog cuts .
This thread has some very interesting stuff. If you haven’t checked out the one in the Schrade forum would do so if into Craftsmen knives and history . Thanks to all who’ve contributed here . ::handshake::
