Ramrod welcome to the Boy Scouts!

Thawk that knife of yours has some fantastic bone handles.

WoW! This is an impressive thread! Here's a BAZOOKA by CAMCO

[Ramrod]

Grinc here is a copy of the ad where you could order one of those Bazooka knives. A good ole knifer friend of mine sent it to me some time back.

[Miller Bro's]

WOW!

Never seen one of those before. The only difference between the actual knife and the AD is the real knife has a steel bail, the ad says it is nickle silver.

Nice to be able to date these as well, 1949.

Thanks Phil and Grinc for posting.

Now I will have to find one of these for my collection

[GRINC]

Way Cool Phil!!!!!!!!!

Hay Tank, yep I saw that one too but didn't bid on it. I have too much in the works as it is,,, But a FINE SCOUT though.

[tongueriver]

That was supposed to be mine, but my banker disagreed.

Thanks for posting that one Thawk. It brought $275. Nice knife but priced beyond my means.

I'm also watching this one.



My family asked what I wanted for Easter. Heh.

[singin46]

Man, that's a great idea!

Here's a Crucible scout that arrived in my mailbox today.
Crucible was a brand sold by W T Grant of New York from 1921-1932.

WTG Phil! That's a rare one indeed! Beautiful jigged bone handles.

Phil, is that the W.T. Grant of dimestore fame in the first half of the 20th century? If so, that's a heck of a nice knife for a five and dime store.

Jerry to the best of my knowledge that is the same retailer who sold these knives. I got my information from Blade's Guide to Knives and Their Values.

[tjmurphy]

W.T. Grant was not a "Dime Store". They sold everything from candies to large appliances, home furnishings, pots and pans, clothing, and I guess, knives. Price-wise, they were not very cheap either.

K-nice K-nife Phil.

[philco]

Thanks for your compliments.

TJ perhaps W T Grants would be better described as a "Department Store" ??

Phil

[tjmurphy]

I think I would. We had a W.T. Grant here in No. Kentucky up until about the 1970's. Maybe put in the class of a Sears and Roebuck from the same time frame, before the super stores.

[Gunsmoke47]

Phil, Beautiful!

[jerryd6818]

Thanks T.J. I remember the name but I don't really remember the store. I don't even know if we had one in Evansville. Mostly what I remember from those days was S.S. Kresge's, F.W. Woolworth and Sears.

Back on subject, sort of. I saw a couple of Wards knives on eBay for not much money. They looked in the pictures like a fairly decent knife.

[Owd Wullie]

Phil,

I've got a brother to that one with cracked ice scales. When I put it beside my old Challenge, they are darn near identical. Makes me wonder who made what for whom.

Great looking old scout!!

THE Crucible;

[johnnierotten]

These 5 should be on there way to my mailbox. ...The first 3 are the Remington reproductions made by Bear & Sons. I've heard a lot of mixed reviews about them...hope I'm not disappointed.

Wow.....I didn't realize the L.F & C's were worth that much.
