GREAT EASTERN HIDDEN GEMS

[boggs]

Closing of another year means one thing.......the coming months will bring the yearly production totals for 2011. So while we wait anxiously how about coming forward with those that haven't appeared in totals from prior years and maybe a few yet to be seen from last year. And if you have totals for your gem(s) what a plus..


Photos 1 and 2 ...#53 Coppertone Stockman 2007 production totals are 67 from the year but never differentiated s/n or n/s..here's an example of both

Photo 3...#73 Burnt Stag 2009 no production totals for a Burnt Stag,long pull, end cap with satin blades 1 of 4

Photo 4...#72 Copper Melt 2010 production totals are 47 s/n...this one is s/n 40 with an example of GEC factory engraving 1 of 1

Photo 5...#33 Genuine Red Stag 2011...yearly production totals not out yet but to my knowledge 1 of 2

Never cease to amaze me with your stash Jim I like the bark on PB's but sure wish they'd do some of the new stuff smooth like those,GREAT COLOR,real beauties. Is the edge of the PB beveled on the lower knife or just angle of pic.?

Monk.....

I was waiting to see those again...and the factory error etch..just to cool.....but I thought you also had a Conductor in Mammoth too....


And I think it might be the angle of the #23 in the picture...both are factory sharpened

[Earl]

My bad Jim,I was asking about the edge of the Primitive bone itself. I had read somewhere I thought,that some of the early bone handled knives the edges of the handles were beveled/angled as opposed to rounded. Again, I thought I read where it was attributed to whoever finished the knife not something that was typical to every knife. I'm probably wrong but in the pic that bottom knife looks like the edge of the PB itself is beveled.

!!!!!!!!!That Red Stag Conductor,is """EXTRA KOOL""""

Hey Jim___you remembered right__"almost"' ____ I did have one of the, Conductors,Mammouth Ivory ,but sold it to,another AAPK member (Just In Case ""Jason Garner"" ) it was serial #05 of only 8 pcs.*****_____I also (at one time) had a Mammouth Ivory Toothpick,that was serial #16 of 18pcs.__(sold this one to AAPK member,Paulsvintage""Paul Bello"")___this was the knife,that they made 12 of,in 2009,and finished & released the other 6 knives, in 2011*** they all had 2009 blade stamps,but, the last six knives,had a different blade etch & shield !!!! typical GEC !!!! _______I have a couple of Stags,that don't match the production totals,and I suspect,you do to ???
1.GEC #735210LP,Genuine Stag #26 of 20pcs.***
2.GEC #735108L.Genuine Stag #25 if 23pcs.***
GEC,makes this a "'FUN GAME"" to play !!!!!

Hey Monk, that Court House Whittler is a neat pattern, kind of a cross between a Whittler and a Congress.

[big monk]

Thanks Perry !!!!! ____I have this one,that is also,a short run of only, 14 knives***

GEC Northfield #620311W Court House Whittler,Primitve Bone,#13 of 14 pcs.

[boggs]

Earl...

I see what you're saying about the edge.....it's definitely the angle since the edges are rounded on the handle....and I too remember the bevel being discussed previously in a post..probably something to it

The 2006 Bark Moss Green Bone, #73,was the one with the ""beveled edges"'

[Earl]

There it is........... thank you Monk Beautiful knives my friend

[singin46]

I had a Bark Moss Green Bone when they first came out in 2006 that I bought from Bill at CumberlandKnifeWorks.
Sold it a few years ago though. Made some money on it for sure because of what you guys already know, only 6 exist. I like that Northfield too Monk!
