Re: Remington's Cutlery Advertising and Marketing Strategies
Remumc,
Thank you so much and I will take you up on the gentleman's number and contact when I get to that phase. As you know this is no small undertaking and setting up / organizing material, reference, authorization consents etc requires a lot of time, energy, monies and cooperation just to mention a few.
I have a vision in my mind and a desire and passion in my heart so I will give it my best.
I really appreciate the guidance and help and realize that it takes a village to accomplish such a task.
Again my heartfelt thanks as I plan and begin this journey.

Re: Remington's Cutlery Advertising and Marketing Strategies
I thought I would piggyback on this conversation. I received this Remington "TABACCO" knife today. Got me to looking around at the rest of my Remington advertising knives. I have never seen this particular shield, or advertisement on a Remington before. Would love to hear your thoughts. I'll share a few more while I'm at it.

Re: Remington's Cutlery Advertising and Marketing Strategies
Keith I know you may already have this article from the Oregon knife club but if not here it is. So informative.
http://www.oregonknifeclub.org/Newsletter%200701.pdf
Keith as you know the R1823 was the often used pattern for giveaways and promotion knives. The shield on yours is new to me but I am not surprised by the "many variations" of that pattern's shield. The tobacco leaf remind me of the B&W leaf logo. Different than your but still alike.
The tobacco shield that I have found only once but could not buy was the "wild duck" advertising shield. Would love to have this in my collection.
The other knives you are showing are awesome and well maintained.
I have several smaller sub-collections in my collection which includes the advertising knives. I could go crazy in this venue but I have slowed down a lot. Keep up the awesome show and tell I always love to see what others have managed to collect.

Re: Remington's Cutlery Advertising and Marketing Strategies
Thanks Rocky. That was a very interesting read.
Re: Remington's Cutlery Advertising and Marketing Strategies
Rocky read this post, I got a little confused. I have a R1823 with nice etch Remington Trade Mark. Remington in a circle Made in USA outside on master. Circle with Remington inside.

Re: Remington's Cutlery Advertising and Marketing Strategies
Harold you have a correct knife. When Jim wrote this article he had not come across one with an etching and a stamped pattern number. Just like I have one with the stamped pattern number but no etching. Wore off. None of us who are Remington collectors can say we've seen it all just too many great and varied knives produced by Remington in their heyday!

I pick up a WILD DUCK knife from Rodger.

Re: Remington's Cutlery Advertising and Marketing Strategies
Nice group of advertising knives Keith. I’m sure most are in mint condition or near mint condition. Just a comment about the Scandinavian knife and the Goodwill shoe knife. These knives I believe are not Remington produced knives. To the best of my knowledge I believe that the Scandinavian airplane knife was produced by an unauthorized cutlery company. The Scandinavian Airlines was founded in 1946. Long after the Remington cutlery era. On the tail of the knife you see SAS which was SAS cargo and that was an independent subsidiary of Scandinavian Airlines and again started around 1946. The plane knife replica represented the SAS 70 DC-3 which was first produced in the early to mid 1940’s. The 1st version of the DC plane was called the Douglas sleeper transport flown by American Airlines and that plane had the twin engine props. It was called the DC-2 which was first produced in 1934. The knife replica you have has the 4 prop engines, again initially manufacturing was outside of the Remington cutlery era. Like the lady's leg knife several cutlery companies produced theses knock off knives and rode the coat tails of the Remington’s trademark and popularity to gain a few dollars. A few unauthorized knock off knives produced were the lady’s leg knife, goodwill shoes knife, coke cola bottle knife, Scandinavian plane knife and a few “car” knives among others. Cool knives but not authorized or produced by the Remington cutlery company. None the less you have an exceptionally nice collection of original Remington cutlery advertising knives.

Re: Remington's Cutlery Advertising and Marketing Strategies
I appreciate that information Rocky. My impression of those two was that they were 60's or 70's knives. Didn't really research them. A guy say I was a Remington collector and gifted them to me.

Re: Remington's Cutlery Advertising and Marketing Strategies
Hey when your a Remington nut like you and me it’s all good Keith! I have a few boot leg knives in my collection as well. The info was really sharing for the novice Remington collector who might follow the thread. A lot of new collectors are “taken in” by the fake Remington stamp. I have seen some pay a lot of money for what they think is an original production Remington knife but in reality a knife only worth a couple of bucks.

Re: Remington's Cutlery Advertising and Marketing Strategies
Dimitri, Miller bros, gifted this to me today. I believe it to be a R7945. This is about as mint as they come. Thanks Dimitri.
Re: Remington's Cutlery Advertising and Marketing Strategies
A few months ago John, pearlrooster, gifted me this pencil and letter that goes with my knife. Thanks John. I do love the advertising stuff.
