TTC Brand?

[knifeaholic]

Recently picked up this 5-3/8" "banana" lockback folding hunter. The tang stamp is TTC in a diamond. I have some recollection that this may have been a brand sold by Sears Roebuck, prior to the Wilbert brand. I mat have seen it in an old Sears catalog.

The blade is etched HUDSON'S BAY HUNTER.

TTC...maybe "True Temper Cutlery"?

T.T.C. Diamond Brand, N.Y., sold by Sears Roebuck, Chicago, U.S.A., retail, c. 1909.

Beautiful example of a beautiful pattern. This is the first TTC marked knife I've seen, but to lend some credence to the Wilbert /Sears connection I have seen a couple of Napanoch knives that look almost exactly like your TTC.

I have a twin to it in a Wilbert. But it ain't etched.

The TTC brand were listed in the 1905 to 1910 Sears reprinted catalog but your knife in this catalog was a Wilbert catalog number 6T16976 with the Hudson Bay etch, length 5 1/4 inches closed, 9 3/4 inches open. Price was $1.12. If mail shipment, postage extra 7 cents. It was one of the most expensive ones listed, only 14 cents less than the big 6 blade congress.____Dave
