Re: Knife & Cutlery Ephemera
Here are 2 that I just picked up. The Case postcard is dated 1954. Not being a Case collector I am not familiar with the salesman's name on it??
The stock is dated 1918 from Geneva Cutlery.

David, that's a great picture, would you mind posting that pic in the General Knife Discussion in the "Picture Post Card" thread? Appreciate it. Thanks.

Re: Knife & Cutlery Ephemera
I am extremely proud to show off my latest acquisition. This is an original $100 stock certificat for the Eldred Cutlery Company, Eldred Pennsylvania. At this time they were making knives for the Platts Brothers. The awesome toenails we drool over and lots more. This was originally on eBay for $500. I didn't pay that much, but certainly a hefty amount, but think about it, "where you gonna find another one?" These types of things interest the heck out of me and provide good leads for historical research. 1906 man to have been there would have been awesome.

Re: Knife & Cutlery Ephemera
Very nice David,
Where in the world did you hunt these down? My searches always leave me wondering if many exist. Hope to see those in the future Knife World article.

Re: Knife & Cutlery Ephemera
Here's a little Rochester Stamping Company / Robeson Cutlery Company booklet alerting customers to the planned presence of company representatives at the "Hardware Convention" to take place February 14th, 15th, 16th & 17th, 1922, in St. Paul, Minnesota.
The front of the booklet is signed, "J. R. Underwood", although it might be "J.K.."
The booklet measures 3" x 6".
It has multiple pages for filling in needed orders, name & address pages, etc.
I suspect Hardware Conventions were a big deal at the time.

Charlie,
I love that sort of thing. Excellent find and nice addition to your children's inheritance. At least that's the way my son sees it.

Re: Knife & Cutlery Ephemera
This one of the best threads on the site IMO! While not any paper goods, I thought I would show this NYKC/Hammer EO here that just arrived today (on the right in pic) after seeing some of the old NYKC boxes in here.
