All About Pocket Knives

Here is the (extensive) Remington knife section in the 1932 McClung Hardware catalog from Knoxville TN.

Adam, that's great stuff. Really like those two colored adds. Thanks for showing them.

Those are nice and very informative. Looks like they are the same or near same pictures that were copied by the authors in some of the Remington catalogs and Remington reference guides. Very nice!

Thanks guys! One thing that is odd about this McClung catalog is that ONLY Remington Knives are featured. McClung sold many brands including their own house knife brand. A collector told me that wholesalers would sometimes sell catalog space to companies to exclusively feature their products.

Here is a letter opener with box. Says "empire milling company. Minneapolis, Minnesota "

Mountainad82 got me looking threw some of my catalogs and I think this one is a little different. It's not very many pages so I thought I'd just take pictures of them all for you to enjoy.

Very nice! Love the old catalogs. Had no idea they gave out Remington cookbooks.

ESPN77, be careful what you wish for! 1951 Remington wild game cookbook.

I've already got my eBay search in place!!!!! Oh boy

Not exactly sure what forum this belongs in so I'll do here.

Amazing how many products Remington offered. Thanks for sharing.

Adam, seems every time I turn around I'm seeing something different Remington put out. The grape fruit knife cost me $4, it's nice that these little odd pieces don't break the bank.

Your cracking me up Keith. Thought I had it bad...glad you got your sign. What a great collection you are putting together!

I saw yours in the background of one of your photos Rocky. Little disappointed in you for not posting it yet. Lol

Keith this is what I have learned... when I participate heavily in the forum and play with my collection in taking pictures for a “ look see”. I become overwhelmed with the urge to expand my collection even further to my wife’s dismay because she is worried I will spread into another room LOL! So I have to take these sabbaticals to look for the more rare and unique Remington items that requires sometimes more than pocket lent and a few coins. Still watching and really enjoying the Remington show from you and the boys.

Here are a couple of old postcards showing the Remington Arms Company, Ilion, NY. The first is postmarked 1917 the second 1908.
