Old Timer keychain from 1986 Schrade Almanac order-form. It's a nice 3D raised style.

Re: Let's see that ephemera!
I think the jacket was still being sold a couple years after the contest as seen in the1986 Schrade Almanac. Last page $12USD (also shown on first page).jxr1197 wrote: ↑Thu Oct 31, 2019 10:43 am Here's a couple of clothing items. The jacket was a last place prize in a Schrade contest in 1984. The flyer said they would give out 200 of them. The T shirt came from a second hand shop in the Hudson Valley. I don't know if they were sold or maybe handed out to employees? It would have been roughly the same period as the jacket.

If anyone posts a pic of that 1st Prize 1985 Old Timer Dodge Ramcharger currently in their driveway my jaw will likely drop right off.

You're posting some great stuff here but that dealer binder is all I'm focusing on. What a great piece!
Here's another random bit of awesomeness - a money clip made out of the side of a 1983(?) Heritage barlow.

Here's an old letterhead from Schrade Cut Co;
All the bosses at the 1997 20yr dinner:
I have no idea why the above picture comes out sideways. It's correct in the file and comes out right if you click on it. Strange
Not sure who the gent is on the far left, but next is Joe Hufnagel, Wally Gardiner behind him, Dave Swinden in the blue suit, not sure who the next guy is, last is Jim Economos.

Re: Let's see that ephemera!
The subject matter of that letter is killer. I've got that letterhead dated 1930 and it's correspondence to Lamson credit checking a new buyer. I also have Lamson's response saying the customer was a slow payer but a solid risk for up to $200.

Re: Let's see that ephemera!
Great stuff folks! Thanks for taking the time to post it and for the kind words regarding my collection.
Next up is a stamped and enameled 8" x 10" metal sign duplicating the artwork on the 1996 "Schrade Scrimshaw of the Great American Outdoors" collection. These were included with the full-set counter display. 1996 was the only year these signs were included.

I haven't seen one of those scrim signs in a while - good one . The playing cards are another one I haven't gotten my hand on.

These pins were given to employees at Schrade after a certain number of years with the company. This particular pin was made between 1997-2004.

Re: Let's see that ephemera!
I recently picked up this large (22"x17") poster that was seemingly printed as a sales tool for jobbers. That image was used from the 30s thru the 50s (maybe 60s?) but based on the price I'm thinking this has to be way down on the early side.

1930's/1940's dealer poster. Imperial used that same image for close to 3 decades but the price makes me think it's an older one.

Re: Let's see that ephemera!
Jason, here is a page of some JACK-MASTER displays from a 1953 catalog. Only one display has the price on it, upper left corner and it shows it as 50 cents. Unless it was just that particular style of knife that was 50 cents.

I didn't notice it before, but in your '36 catalog on page 60 is the same poster actually printed with the 25 cent price. ThanksLRV wrote: ↑Wed May 20, 2020 6:36 pm Some from Imperial 1936 catalog.

As long as I'm here I'll add this fancy envelope - coincidentally also from 1936.

Re: Let's see that ephemera!
I guess you could consider this ephemera. Here you go.............
I bought the postcard (last 2 pictures) last night. I bought the 5 item lot this morning. Here's the description (seller's) of the lot.
"The listing you are viewing is for Four (4) Vehicle Lot of Vintage NASCAR Die-cast Cars with Racing Truck including: 1/96 Skoal Racing Car Transporter (with Display case and Original box), 1/25 #7 Harry Gant Chevy Lumina, 1/43 #33 Hary Gant Skoal Chevy Lumina, Harry Gant #33 Pen Knife (New On Card) and 1/23 Hary Gant Skoal Chevy Lumina."
Besides the Case pocket knife, which is NOT why I bought the lot, the connection between this lot and pocket knives is that SCHRADE is one of the #33's sponsors. I don't know how long the sponsorship lasted. You can see the OLD TIMER w/knife "decal" on both sides of one of the cars (sorry about the pictures, not mine). You can see it much clearer in the postcard pictures. The postcard, from the 1992 Winston Cup Series, shows Harry Gant posing with his car at the Talladega Track in Alabama. The car in the postcard is different from the scale car. Luckily, I'm a NASCAR fan so this was a win-win deal for me.

Re: Let's see that ephemera!
That's only the 2nd of these I've seen. I posted mine earlier in this same thread: viewtopic.php?f=64&t=64301&p=769340&hilit=gant#p769340 It shows what's on the back. It's not a post-card.

The Gant/Schrade connection started in the late '80s and continued through to "The Bandit's Last Ride" in 1994.
Mine goes on display when these knives come out to play.

Thank you for the information. Great looking items! Now I've got to find the SCHRADE #33 knife. The seller called the picture a postcard, which would've been fine, but a promo picture is even better.
