Remington toothpick pearl knife needs more information

The Remington Corporation and the knives that they built have influenced the U.S. cutlery industry more than nearly any other manufacturer. From the time America was settled, to the end of WWI, American knife companies struggled to compete with Britain and German imports, but events that occurred during and after the First World War led to a great change in this phenomenon. Unprecedented opportunities arose, and Remington stepped up to seize the moment. In the process, they created some of today's most prized collectables. In an ironic twist, the next World War played the greatest role in ending the company’s domination of the industry.

Remington toothpick pearl knife needs more information

Post by mdpmedia1 »

I’m having trouble identifying what type of Remington knife this is since it has a little markings on it. I want to sell this to someone who wants to pay me hardly anything for it.

I included several shots of the scales to assist in determining if this is mother of pearl or imitation pearl. One of those shots looks like it’s blue but the main color is actually white. It must just be the angle that the knife was held when the artificial light was shining on it; it wasn’t perpendicular like the other shots of the scales were.

I would like to know if there is some sort of trick to correctly identify Remington knives with hardly any markings on them. The length and widest width of this knife is 3” x 3/8”.

Also, if anybody knows a URL with a photo and a past sales price with it, I’d appreciate It putting it here. :wink:

That's a Tuxedo, very sweet. There is a Tang Chart thread around here someplace to give you a ballpark date on when it was made. ::nod::👍

That's a very nice knife in great condition.
I would suggest you do some more research before letting it go for too little money.

Don't really know much about the knife other than that it is modern and not an original pre WWII Remington.
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.

I agree with Wayne , it’s not an original Remington . Not much value IMO . Stamps are bad , nail nicks are modern.

Another red flag is there are no pins in the handles, they're just glued on.
