Joe... that's quite a Wharncliffe you have there!

- One could have had the Ulster wrapper and just put the Hammer Brand knife in it which confuses things... and you probably thought of these possibilities already
Lee... That's just too scary to contemplate... but I suppose its possible. That's why I was hoping someone would verify its an Ulster.
WB... Just received one of those with a red handle... haven't taken any pics yet.

Mike... do you mean like this one?...
Neat Hobo knives... I like how the "Remember the Maine" places the knives in context to the time period it was produced in.
Roger... Very nice!
I still seeking a Dwight Devine Ulster to to acquire... & yours is a whittler to boot...
OK... so here is a "Baer period" Ulster I picked up recently.... a #63 Whittler.... My first swell center handle & a blade combination I felt was rather uncommon... two different size clip blades & a coping pen blade which I have not seen before.
From the 1959 catalog:

Wow, way to bring the Ulster heat there Roger! Interesting to see the fork with the caplifter.
Ken, I would still be happy to have one like yours.
Here's a World War I signal corp inspector's kit. I'm told it was an early edition of the kit with this Ulster knife. The knife has seen it's share of hard use, but for a good cause!

Interesting they selected an electrican's knife & provided a screwdriver as well.
Is the folding ruler marked with the maker? I collect those as well, but only from Connecticut companies.
A very neat piece of history you have there
Mike!

Ken, the ruler is by Lufkin if that helps. "Warranted boxwood and No.780." All of the tools have SC USA stamps on them. Thanks.

Lufkin is a big brand in the folding ruler world, but not from Connecticut.

MY life has lost much of its savor. Some weeks ago I misplaced one of my most highly favored knives, a large Ulster Stockman. I have searched every pocket 10 times, beneath cushions, in the car, etc. all without result. If anyone has a minty large Ulster Stockman they are willing to part with I would appreciate a PM.

Thanks to Charlie I was able to purchase a very nice collection of vintage Ulster salesman sample barlows. I'm thinking the tang stamp Ulster Knife Co dates them from the mid to late 40's, possibly early 50's. The knives are in mint condition, never used.
The one that really stands out for me is the razor or one arm blade barlow, it is the only one without a pattern number stamped on the back of the tang. I have seen a vintage ad that shows the other 3 knives in the ad but did not show the one arm, I'm thinking it was special order only. I have never seen another.

Just came back from a trip to Virginia where I found all these....
From Schrade's Ulster line:
№355S: a 3¼"Stockman with "black stagged" handles (without a shield) from the mid−1950's
№98: a 4" Stockman with "Genuine Staglon®" handles from the late 1960's until the line was discontinued in 1972.
An old Ulster Knife Co. barlow with bone handles...
A Dewight Devine & Sons Ulster Boy Scout knife...
I have a question about the tang stamps I'm hoping someone can answer... Obviously, the Devine & Sons tang stamp dates to 1926 when Dewight restructured the company to include his sons until his sons sold the company to Baer in 1941... but does that mean the knives stamped Ulster Knife Co. without the Devine & Sons tang stamp pre−date 1926?
.... plus I found this Prince Albert tin with the Ulster "Old Timer" knives offer...
.... then when I returned home... waiting for me in the mailbox was this little gem of a gentleman's pen I won on eBay (also stamped Ulster Knife Co.) Seller says the handle are faux tortoise shell. How can you tell?

Thanks for your replies. Here is another, i think identical, knife but it has an etch "Craftsman/Hammer Forged/9533". It too is marked "Ulster/Knife/Co" on master tang.
