I picked this up. Has a very faint etch.

Hey espn, that is the knife in the add isn't it. Cool!!!!!

I never knew this knife was a giveaway knife till this thread.

Anyone know the date that the R373 jack was shown and offered as a premium in HTT? Thank you, John

Nice score on the harness jack!

Nov 1926

I don't think the R4466 was a premium knife. I thought the add would be welcome.

Great add Harold

You bet Harold. Really liked the add. Just wondering if they’re were only 4 HTT premium knives?? Thank you again Harold for the add copy. Always great to learn a little more about the knives we love. John

This is why I read AAPK - look at great knives and learn

Here are the two variations of the bulldog. Both had a blade etches but one had a tang stamp the other didn't.

Thanks for posting them both together.

Ditto with Jim. It might be added that the Bulldog knife with both etch and tang stamp is much more rare. One could only wonder if the order was filled out with tang stamped blades that would normally be used for the other knives that used that large master blade. John

Anyone seen one of these with the older Remington umc inside the circle tang stamp?

Jim, I was a believer that the htt knives were later (30's)
Knives till I got this knife. This bulldog has an early stamp.

Keith, I believe the HTT Bulldog was offered in either 1926 or 1936. I will look tonight. I have a reprint of the HTT magazine. John

John, the stamp on my knife is 1921-24 theoretically. So that would make me think they should have given them out a little earlier or the blade was left over parts.

I bought all 12 issues from 1929 htt magazine and this add was in there.

Keith thanks for sharing the HTT ad, I had no idea that this slick black two blade bulldog was an HTT knife. John

I'm finding out that there were quite a few knives that were offered besides the big bullet trapper, little trapper and the single blade bulldog. Very interesting to look threw these magazines. Great knife John

This is a new one for me. Thanks for a view of the knife and the ad guys.

Thank you Jim for your positive and uplifting comments , and thank you Keith for the ad and your wonderful knowledge of the knives we love so much!! John

Great representation of a great American company fellas, thanks for sharing all this knife history.
