Dwight Devine and Ulster

Post by Gr8Scout »

A treat for you guys, courtesy of Tom, our resident Camillus historian.

Some odds and ends from before the turn of the last century. Is that going far enough back in time to fall into the 'Knife Lore' catagory?

I like the invoices... in one of them you can see that about three dozen knives wholesaled for under twenty dollars. Dated 1899. I love the fancy fonts on the invoices. Pure class, and it seems that in those days, the owner of the company was proud enough to make sure his name was right up there, for all to see. It is clear where the buck stops, isn't it? And there is his signature on one of the invoices.

Postcards and knife labels and is that a knife wrapper there Tom, the manila colored one?
