Sorry you don't have it any more... ... but not so sorry that it's in MY pocket now!!!

Wel, ... I found this one and it has a Short-line tang stamp on the blade... but... is this knife from the 50's?

MC-1 knife was produced from 1958-59 to 2006. So congratulations! You got the earliest version.

Thanks Dan and Skip It is always a good day when you find a new "Short-Line"

Sure is!

Well finally got a little “ G dog “ luck . Grabbed up this little 91 from the bay and the # 10 from a members store . The Tip Top Barlow is a big addition to the private collection. They’re getting harder to find especially so in the short line stamp. Got them oiled up and will find them a spot in the short line tray. The 91 looks to have 2 mains with both having the short line on the main side and 91 on the pile . Can’t find this one in the catalogs! The shield and handle don’t kook Camillus to me but the knife doesn’t appear tampered with .
Take care out there .

The 91 is a real beauty. Congratulations on those nice acquisitions, JP!

[New_Windsor_NY]

Well.....

JP, those are VERY nice acquisitions.

I love that Tip-Top Barlow! I replaced the blades in one that was an old 4-line, and it stays in my EDC rotation more than any other knife I own. Yours is nicer since it is original!

Thanks Dan,Skip, Rev andDoglegg for the comments.
Here’s one to ponder . This Serrated #1 was on the bay ,threw 20 bucks at it out of curiosity and it ended up here . The hawk bill ( pruner ) #1 and the Serrated #1 are same size everything . Different pins and covers . Did someone modify the one from a regular hawk bill ? It looks like the kick is ground way down but the serrated edge looks machined ? If this was done after it left the factory they did a decent job on it .
What say you fellas ? Could use some help on this one.
Thanks much .

[Dan In MI]

The nail nick looks to be larger, farther forward, and at a different angle than the one on the hawkbill. It just may be a factory job, but I can't be at all certain. Will be interested to hear what the experts have to say. And have you posted that invoice in the ephemera forum? That would be great to see!

[Vit_213]

IMHO yes.

Different pins and covers .

I finally got around at looking thru the other box of knives that I won at the estate auction I won two weeks ago I believe. Besides the 4 Russell Barlows, Had a Queen Winterbottom Imitation Toothpick,on the mark side the handle has to be replaced, also found this little short-line # 17

Not bad she's a keeper

# 17

It's just wow! A very rare knife. Late 1946 - early 1947.
I didn't even know such a version existed.

Theo, Excellent short line #17 . As Vit has mentioned they’re hard to find and some don’t know they are around .
Vit my Friend, here’s a nice bone covered #17 . Thought it is posted somewhere here in the short line area but maybe not .
Take care fellas

[Dan In MI]

Beautiful 17s, Theo and JP!
