Re: Old and Obscure Brands
I picked up 3 more Wabash Cutlery.
The office knife is kind of unique. The main blade is stamped Wabash Cutlery, the secondary is stamped Indiana Cutlery.
Wabash changed its name to Indiana in 1931 then back to Wabash in 1933.
This is the first one that I've seen like this.

Re: Old and Obscure Brands
Lucky you David. Here's one of my two. I love the celluloid on this one and, thankfully, it isn't too shrunken or gassing. Main stamp is WABASH CUTLERY CO. in a half moon over TERRE HAUTE and the secondary is W.C.C. over T.H.,IN. J.O'.

Re: Old and Obscure Brands
Thanks to Roger added a pretty amazing large 4 1/4" stag sheepsfoot jack this week. Sold by J M Schmid & Son Providence, RI, J M Schmid was a retailer with a long history, 1871 to1964. They did not make their knives but had them made for them, German, English and US companies, most likely this knife was made by Ulster or Utica, both companies used stag in the early 1900's.
This knife covers a lot of the patterns I collect, early stag, sheepsfoot jacks, jumbo jacks.

Re: Old and Obscure Brands
Here is some nice old pick bone on this Ulery, etched "Loos and Dilworth, Paragon Oil Co".
Question......has anyone out there ever seen a Ulery with bone handles, or any scales other than metal?
