Cool. I love looking at those old advertisements. As I scrolled through it, I was trying to guess from what age it came. When I came across the military knives, it was clear the catalog is from sometime between 1926 and 1941 because that's the only time the Air Force was called the United States Army Air Corps. I'm not much on shell knives but I would LOVE to have a couple of those USMC editions.

Thanks for posting this 46. It's great and no, I've never seen that brand of knife.

Well I'm glad you liked lookin Jerry, I know many here being Schrade and Imperial collectors have seen it. I'm gonna make a wild in the dark guess and say that most were used around the late 50s thru the 60s and even into the 70s. But Orvet actually has one that dates back to 1948, I know cause you can read it on the card itself. TOPSY BABY!
