GOT SHIELDS?

[nelson08]

Can't figure this one out and would like any info about it that is out there

[Miller Bro's]

Charlie,

Here is another Waterville knife shield, like the one you posted earlier.
This is another knife from the "parts" box.

The jigged bone is pretty nice on this old knife!

Robeson Shield

[Hawke]

Didnt see any Boker Shields in there.

[tjmurphy]

Here's one I've not seen yet. Rob. Klaas of Kissing Crane fame. Not found anyone yet who can tell me about the single crane Klaas.

TJ,

A close up of the tang stamps, please.

Here you go:




Sure hope you have some info for me. No one seems to know anything about this Crane Brand.

[Miller Bro's]

TJ,

I suspect the Crane Brand knife you have was a knife that was imported by Max Klaas between 1907-1914. After 1914 Metropolitan Cutlery Co. of New York owned the Crane Brand trademark, it probably was not used after the 1940`s

It is unusual. I have not seen another.

I have an unmarked shield that exactly the shape of the "stainless" shield on page 2 or the Crane Brand pictured above on an unknown Trapper.

It has been said to be Schrade.

Any other thoughts?

Miller

I would certainly want that you would be correct on your dates, but I just don't think the knife is that old. Here is a full view of the knife, a 4-blade Congress



Here is another with the same tang stamp less the soligen mark:




This second "jack" is unused.

[Miller Bro's]

Here is an unusual shield from the Girl Scouts.

It is on a New York Knife Co. Girl Scout knife.

Not easy to find this scout knife

some old pre 1948 Case shields

Robeson BP shield.

Supposedly stands for Belt Punch.

Here's a fancy Rooster shield;

[upnorth]

Neat shield on a Peerless cutlery, maybe by Robeson. Looks like a magazine premium; "Subscribe for two years and we'll send you a Harness Jack!"

[upnorth]

Odd shield, odd knife!
Reportedly came from Albert Baer's pattern drawer. Has a number inked on it.

[upnorth]

Here is a curved banner shield on an old Morley gunstock.

[upnorth]

One more Boxing Day shield;
Cool shield on an Empire Fish Jack;

[Just Plain Dave]

That Pearl handled Cigar is a HUMDINGER!

[Miller Bro's]

Charlie,

All nice old shields

That Camillus is most unusual, not the usual jigging pattern you see, and the shield is one of a kind. Very Nice!

Here is a nice Keen Kutter............

[trail]

Here are some modern-day shields - the latest from Bear & Son, a Bear-made Moore Maker, and a Smith & Wesson from Seki, Japan. I'm much taken with the S&W, a really clean, intricate and detailed casting.
