It may be common knowledge but I don't know what the "TIW" on some GEC knives stands for. Would one of you please tell me?

I believe its "Tidioute Iron Works". Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks FarSide, HighPlains & edge213. It's two to one so I'll think Titusville Iron Works.

Am i mixing up my life in the world of comics ? I remember the name but not his role or relationship to the others.

I believe so Roland . According to my friend Google, Dagwood and family lived in The suburbs of Joplin , Mo. and Titus Canby was a vile criminal in the children's television show called Where in the World is Carmen San Diego.

Thanks Greg. I don't know how Titus Canby got into my memory as i do not know of that T.V. show. I have never really watched T.V. except a little during high school in early 1960's.
