That's the best Western States #72 pattern I have ever seen. A pleasure to see it!

Such fine looking old folding hunters y'all have produced!
Here below are most of mine, there are several more that are somewhere, a Buck 110 that I was given as a gift when I left a water pollution control agency more than 50 years ago, several NIB Cases and Queens and somewhere around here is an Old Hickory by Ontario when they were involved with Queen. It is identical to the Queen 39 except for the handle. Finding them all for a family photo has proved the old saying, "it was like herding cats, to find most of them!" ::facepalm:: The open #39 has been my go-to deer knife for many years, there's an interesting tale how I came to own that one.
As you can see there are several different brands in this bunch, Case, Queen, Frontier, Western, K-Bar, Remington, Uncle Henry, Boker, Old Timer...

Thanks Miller Bros for lightin' the fire!

Looked in another drawer and found a couple of shy Camillus knives that are also folding hunters along with the Old Hickory and another raggedy Old Timer:

Nice bunch Phillip. It's a wonder you could find that many after seeing Joe's, or I could be saying it's a wonder Joe could find that many after seeing yours.
