Re: Allen Cutlery Co. Newburgh, N.Y.
This particular pocket knife got by me and I found it after the auction.
I am posting this for posterity and as a reference. This G. SCHRADE pocket knife is
a "cousin" of the Allen Cutlery Company, the Eagle Knife Company and other cutlery
companies that manufactured pocket knives of a similar pattern or style. The knife
is NOT mine. The pictures are NOT mine. The pictures are the seller's and have NOT
been edited, altered or enhanced by me, EXCEPT for the size.

Re: Allen Cutlery Co. Newburgh, N.Y.
***** BREAKING NEWS!!! ***** BREAKING NEWS!!! ***** BREAKING NEWS!!! ***** BREAKING NEWS!!! ***** BREAKING NEWS!!!
It has been a long held popular belief that Newburgh, New York only had the one cutlery or knife manufacturing company. That one cutlery or knife manufacturing company was called the ALLEN CUTLERY COMPANY. They existed from 1917 to 1925. While I was looking for things to post under this "Knife Lore....." forum, under the "Knives in the news" topic, I found this article. It was in a September 23, 1947, Newburgh, N.Y. newspaper. It announced a new factory opening, "The Newburgh Metal Manufacturing Company." In the first picture, near the end of the second paragraph, we get our first clue, ".....of toy aluminum cutlery." In the second picture, near the end of the second paragraph, we get our second and final clue, "Next spring, they plan to produce a new type patented pocket knife." The third picture is a small teaser that I found when I did a very general Google search. This should be fun, but probably will end up being a frustrating investigation. Still, to find a pocket knife that was made by this manufacturer, if any were actually produced, talk about a "grail" knife!! Let the fun begin.....!!

Re: Allen Cutlery Co. Newburgh, N.Y.
This morning, this advertising pocket knife became the latest addition to this topic or thread and to my collection. It is another single blade, cap lifter/bottle opener handle, all metal, 3" closed, fob/key ring pocket knife. It has a slide that unlocks the blade, open or closed and it also locks the blade, open or closed. This is my ninth fob/key ring pocket knife in this pattern or style. The other eight have ALL been previously posted under this topic or thread. "U.S.A." is stamped on the handle. It is the only maker mark or stamp.The main handle side advertises "OASIS BAR - HOBART, IND." The other handle side says nothing. I bought this pocket knife because it is a "cousin" of the Allen Cutlery Company, the Eagle Knife Company, the G Schrade Knife Company and the other cutlery companies that manufactured pocket knives of a similar pattern or style. I gave it a very minor cleaning. It is in VERY GOOD condition. I took some pictures and here it is.

I have seen the toy aluminum cutlery, the patented knife handle could be a cast aluminum handle that was used on some patented knives I have seen over the years.
Thanks for posting this and it will be interesting to see if more information turns up in the future

Re: Allen Cutlery Co. Newburgh, N.Y.
Yesterday afternoon, I rescued this pocket knife from the clutches of the postal service. It became the latest addition to this topic or thread and to my collection. It is another ALLEN CUTLERY CO., NEWBURGH N.Y. (1917-1925), single blade, 3 1/2" closed, two stamps, all metal, pocket knife. One stamp, the patent stamp, is on the handle. The other stamp, the maker stamp, is on the tang and partially worn off. This pocket knife has handles with a "design" or "grips" carved into them. This is only my second "ALLEN" with this particular style of handles. The other one has been previously posted under this topic or thread. This pocket knife needed very little cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is. The last picture shows the two "design" handled pocket knives together.

Re: Allen Cutlery Co. Newburgh, N.Y.
This afternoon, this became the latest pocket knife to join this topic or thread and my collection. It is a single blade, cap lifter/bottle opener handle, 3" closed, 1 tang stamp, all metal pocket knife. It has an "ETCHED P. CO. - L.I.C.N.Y." tang stamp. All three GOINS books that I checked said the same thing, "Etched in L.I.C.N.Y. c 1933." This is my eighth pocket knife in this pattern or style. This is my second pocket knife, in this pattern or style, that has this particular tang stamp and that advertises this particular event. The main side says nothing, but it has the "Sky Ride" graphics. The other side says "1934 - CHICAGO" and has some graphics also. I bought this pattern or style of pocket knife because it is a "cousin" of the Allen Cutlery Company, the Eagle Knife Company and some other cutlery companies that manufactured pocket knives of a similar pattern or style. They are ALL posted and scattered throughout this topic or thread. I cleaned it, took some pictures and here it is.

I just recently found the ad posted below for the "Newburgh Metal Manufacturing Corp." in a
January 1948, New York newspaper. It mentions nothing about pocket knives or cutlery in general.
But that doesn't necessarily mean that they didn't manufacture pocket knives or cutlery in general.
Even though the original article calls it a "Company" and the ad calls it a "Corporation", I'm fairly
certain that they are the same business.

Re: Allen Cutlery Co. Newburgh, N.Y.
I found this "ALLEN" while searching for something else.
Of course, it was many days after the auction had ended.
I'm posting this for posterity and for future reference.
It is a single blade "ALLEN." It is patent stamped on the handle.
It is maker stamped on the blade tang.
The knife is NOT mine. The pictures are NOT mine.
The pictures belong to the seller.
They have NOT been edited, altered or enhanced by me, EXCEPT for size.
Caption(s), if any, are on the BOTTOM of the corresponding picture(s).

Re: Allen Cutlery Co. Newburgh, N.Y.
This particular pocket knife did NOT elude me. It arrived yesterday afternoon and became the latest example to be added to this topic or thread and to my collection. It is an ALLEN CUTLERY CO., NEWBURGH N.Y. (1917-1925), single blade, all metal, "Boys' Pattern" pocket knife. It measures 3 1/8" closed. It has two stamps. Both stamps, the maker stamp AND the patent stamp are on the handle. This one has definitely seen some use. To say that the blade is rough is putting it mildly. It looks like it was "sharpened" with a chainsaw. But, it has no wobble, has a great half stop and a NASTY closing snap. It also has the hole in the handle for the "chain and shackle." It needed to be cleaned. I cleaned what I could, I took some pictures and here it is.

Re: Allen Cutlery Co. Newburgh, N.Y.
Arriving this morning, this became the latest pocket knife to join this topic or thread and my collection. It is a single blade, cap lifter/bottle opener handle, 3" closed, single tang stamp, all metal, advertising pocket knife. It has a G. SCHRADE - KNIFE CO. INC. - B' PORT, CT. - U.S.A. tang stamp. This is my eleventh pocket knife in this pattern or style. This is my first advertising pocket knife, in this pattern or style, that features this particular product. The main side says "MORE FLAVOR FOR YOUR MONEY SunCrest." The other side says "SunCrest MORE FLAVOR FOR YOUR MONEY." I obtained this pattern or style of pocket knife because it is a "cousin" of the Allen Cutlery Company, the Eagle Knife Company and some other cutlery companies that manufactured pocket knives of a similar pattern or style. They are ALL posted and scattered throughout this topic or thread. Just a tiny bit of the original enamel remains. It did not need to be cleaned. I took some pictures and here it is.

Per Wikipedia.....
"The Sun Crest brand of soft drinks was introduced by the National NuGrape Company of Atlanta, Georgia, in 1938 as a flavor line and sister brand to NuGrape, 2-Way lemon lime, and Kickapoo Joy Juice. Sun Crest was acquired along with NuGrape in 1968 by The Moxie Company (renamed Moxie-Monarch-NuGrape Company and later Monarch Beverage Company). Hedinger Brands, LLC. purchased the Sun Crest brand from Monarch in 2007 along with Dad's Root Beer, Bubble Up and Dr. Wells brands, and licensed the brand to The Dad's Root Beer Company, LLC. The Dad's Root Beer Company headquarters is located in Jasper, Indiana. From the 1970s until the early 1990s, Sun Crest branded lime soda, sarsaparilla, grape soda, and cherry soda were sold in the UK at Happy Shopper stores, and delivered in glass bottles by milkmen from the Co-Op. Since 2016, the UK branch of Sun Crest has also begun selling exotic fruit juice such as pineapple, passion fruit, grapefruit, and coconut water in supermarkets like Sainsburys. As of 2021, the only Sun Crest branded soda still available in the UK is sparkling grape juice."
