Where Are All The Remington Knife Collectors?

The Remington Corporation and the knives that they built have influenced the U.S. cutlery industry more than nearly any other manufacturer. From the time America was settled, to the end of WWI, American knife companies struggled to compete with Britain and German imports, but events that occurred during and after the First World War led to a great change in this phenomenon. Unprecedented opportunities arose, and Remington stepped up to seize the moment. In the process, they created some of today's most prized collectables. In an ironic twist, the next World War played the greatest role in ending the company’s domination of the industry.

Been a long day working outside and believe it or not got me a sunburn on my shoulders while working. Weather man sayin' we are supposed to get snow this Sunday...hard to believe with this kind of day. Trees blooming, flowers poppin', grass sproutin'...snow...really! I know we can get the stuff all the way in to April but after a day like today it's hard to believe.
Any way here's a few to post before I return back to work.

Rocky thank for posting the nice knives and the Caboodle, too. The R100B you posted a couple of days ago is very outstanding. You probably know all the exceptions to the Punch and Acorn shield combination shown on the 100B. Seems like there are only a couple of patterns that have a Punch blade with a Federal shield. The pocket oiler is really sweet and in great condition.

Here is a picture of a R563. It still has a little of the bluing on the punch.

Rocky my friend you have inspired me to take some pictures of the Remington stuff I have not posted before! :D ::handshake::

Seeing you posted some nice Remington accessories as well as knives I would like to show this old oil can I have.

Also a RS3335 scout knife and a unusual fire department related knife, this one is just starting to off gas ::paranoid:: it was unused when I got it many years ago it has just started to rust, it may stop if not I will have to peel off the handles :( It needs to be watched very carefully.

Jerry, thank you so much for your positive comments! ::handshake:: That is one beautiful EE Jack! ::drool:: Exceptional condition...love the bluing and etch. The dark rich bone color; I really like. Keep 'em coming my friend, I'm making a want list from some of the showings! LOLOL ::tu:: ::nod::
P.S. You are right on the punch blade combination, you don't see but a few patterns with the federal shield and punch. ::super_happy::

Dave, So glad to see your giving us a look see at some of your Rems. I know you have some good 'uns.Love the example of your R563. I know you know but for those that don't, That pattern is cataloged by Remington with both styles of bolsters. It is possible that yours is a later production than Jerry"s but it is correct to my understanding. Let's see some more! HET!! ::tu:: ::groove::

Dimitri, I'm so glad you have been motivated! 8) Love ,Love, Love it! :D Great example and condition of the oil can. I have seen a few of those but not always as clean as your example. Nice!The Stars and Stripe Scout is to die for. ::drool:: I have been wanting to add a few of those to my collection but I am very picky with this pattern and the condition that I want. Love yours, it is very nice. ScoutKnives,(Mike B.) has some that can make a grown man cry over!LOLOL ::drool:: :wink: The pattern on the advertising Pen knife is what I think should be the R7895. Appears to be like my MKT railroad pen. It is rare according to Stewart and Ritchie. This pattern thought to only come with the Masonic emblem shield.It is a shame that it is gasing out. I have found that this occurs more often on the lighter pyremite colors rather than the darker colors. Just my observation.
I hope others will catch fire and feel the desire to collect and show their Remington collections. Some really great stuff out their. Keep 'em coming Dimitri if you have more Remington "caboodle" would love to see it my friend as I'm sure others would as well. ::handshake:: ::nod:: ::ds::

Here's one for today from the treasure box: ::paranoid:: :mrgreen:

Remington Stock Pattern #R3493 closed at 3 3/8" with visual etch. ::tu::

Thanks Roger, Rocky, Dmitri, Dave for the gracious words regarding the R563. Dave your R563 is pretty sweet too. I'm going to try to resist the temptation to get into Caboodle even though you all are demonstrating how cool it can be.

I can keep it going for a few more days with some knives. Here is a pair of Stockman patterns. I believe they are based on the same frame with different blade configurations.

The first two pictures are a Remington R3053 with a Clip, Spey, and Sheepfoot with a Federal shield. The etch is very faint on this one and the pattern is inked with only the "30" faintly visible in the right light at the right viewing angle.

The second two pictures are a Remington R3063 with a Clip, Spey, and Punch with an Acorn shield. This one has a decent etch visible and a stamped pattern number.

Thanks for looking.

Jerry you are very welcome. I love to look at Remington knives, I'm like a kid in a candy store just can't get enough but hard to buy it all. :wink: I love the Stockman patterns and especially love the R3053 very nice and I love the color on that bone and the blade configuration.
I really have enjoyed collecting antique and vintage Remington products in general. Doing so satisfies my eclectic taste in collecting. Surprisingly much less costly than buying knives at times. ::tu::

Hey Mike, do my eyes deceive me :wink: or is that a scout knife sitting center stage in the display? ::super_happy:: ::nod:: That is a beautiful case. Is it all original or has it been refurbished? Almost looks brand new. Very nice Mike, Nice addition to any collection. If your going to display the beauties you have you need a beauty of a home to showcase them. ::tu:: :mrgreen: ::nod::

P.S. Love the Budweiser light you have behind you. Very cool!! ::tu::

Yes that was a test fit to see if a scout knife fit :mrgreen: , display case is all original , no restoration just a light cleaning .
Can't believe you could see the reflection of the Budweiser light :lol:
Makes for great shop lighting .

It even came with an extra knife board .

I could not find a date on it, but it looks like 1930`s to me.

Anyone have an identification guide book for old oil cans?
