Vintage Schatt & Morgans
I was looking for a thread devoted to vintage Schatt and Morgans but didn't find one. Maybe some of you will post yours here?
The top one has a single blade and is 7 7/8 inches long opened. The bottom one has two blades and is 5 1/2 inches open.

Re: Vintage Schatt & Morgans
Well I guess I have one too. Just found out that was what it was. The tang was so dirty that it took a lot of Flitz to see the logo and writing.This belonged to my dad in the 60's. It's an ugly little knife and was used a lot. The blade has some wobble on it and as you can see, it was sharpened quite a bit...but, it is an oldie for sure.
Ran across this going through some of my fathers things.

Re: Vintage Schatt & Morgans
Vikingdog,
I think your first knife shown is my favorite of this thread so far, even though I like them all!
Liveitloud,
I have the same little knife only mine is pearl. Is yours a yellow celluloid?

SK,
I like that one also! Looking at this thread put me in the mood to hit some antique stores today. Hopefully, Bret & I see something of interest.

Thanks Kathy and good luck at the shops today, let us know how you make out. The flea market is closed for the year or I'd be there right now.

Mike & Kathy, I think it is too.
This one is waterfall. I'm pretty sure it's pre-1928.

Great knives everyone.
I don't have any of my own to add but I do want to tell you folks I'm enjoying the show thus far.
Can't wait to see what else is going to show up here.

Re: Vintage Schatt & Morgans
No, it is shorter than a Eureka jack which is 3” long. Levine calls it a Serpentine jack as he also does the Peanut at 2 7/8” long. I am showing it here alongside three Schatt Peanuts. Queen made this Peanut again in pearl in their XIV Keystone Series and called it a Reverse Peanut. It was 2 7/8" long also.

I like these English jacks. One of my favorite patterns, all are Schatts except the Queen City on the left.

Re: Vintage Schatt & Morgans
I like 'em all! But, especially the toothpick! I think this may be my only S&M. I've been told it has the earliest of the Titusville stamps. I really don't know for sure. It reads Schatt & Morgan Cutlery Co.-Titusville, PA. Same person dated it 1897-1905. 
At 5-1/2", it is one of the bigger toothpicks i've come across.
