Here's a case I picked up recently and put advertising knives in it. Still looking for a key that will open the back storage compartment. Any advice would be appreciated.

I have one key for your display. I could make a copy and send you one.

Your display is awsome, knives and case.

After looking at it. Your lock looks different than the two cases I have like yours.

Keith you are correct this is the original barrel key and lock. Thank you for your offer and generosity. If you come across one for this keep me in mind.

Maybe a real locksmith could fix you up? I have seen many of those style keys at antique shows but not sure how you could match one up? That is a fine case and display of knives you have there! Nice that you share with the rest of us!

Thanks Remunc. I do plan to take it to our locksmith and hopefully have it opened and obtain a key to use for the future. Love to see your knives as well and appreciate your knowledge and feedback.

Here's another original Remington counter top display case. This is untouched with the exception of the knives I put in her!

Just a couple more for today...how 'bout some pruners? Top and bottom have visible etch but doesn't show well in the pics.

What the heck Rocky. I haven't seen very many of the knives in your case. And the pruners!! Very nice. That case is one of my favorites that Remington made.

LOL...here's a sample of a few more...

The packages are full of Remington posters, Calendars and Remington advertising of one sort or another. The bigger cabinet has a diverse collection of antique/ vintage cutlery that most of the big cutlery companies folks collect. Yea...I know I have issues...

Your going to have to get a bigger cabinet pretty soon.

Want to get an old Remington floor display cabinet but the misses tells me "I got enough stuff in that junk room!" LOL...she is sweet to put up with several "man cave" rooms that I have. The kids are grown and have their own homes so we have plenty of space...I guess it's good that she put a bridle and blinders on this stubborn mule or I might get out of hand!

I've said this before Rocky but that thermometer is extremely cool.

Thanks Mike...would love to see some of your collection. Hadn't seen a "look see" from you in quite a spell.

Thanks again Keith I appreciate that...what ever happened with that amazing Remington cutlery advertising neon light? Did you score it?

espn77 · Post by **espn77** » Thu Aug 31, 2017 2:16 am

The guy is killing me. He has 4 items that will be the last to sell. A Remington camp fire knife with a full etch, mop boy scout knife, the neon sigh, ant the fix blade display with correct knives.

AREMINGTONSEDGE · Post by **AREMINGTONSEDGE** » Thu Aug 31, 2017 2:22 am

Buy it all Keith! All are hard to find in the condition I've seen you show. Don't let it slip through your fingers... throw an old dog a Bone as a last resort if ya have to. Lol one can never have too much Remington caboodle in their collection!

I upgraded a knife as of late. An R655. The one I had is the bottom knife. Top is the new nife. And it's a salesman sample. $10.80 marked on the back side. I went for the longest time and had never seen a Remington salesman sample and now I've picked up 4 in the last few months.

RalphAlsip · Post by **RalphAlsip** » Thu Aug 31, 2017 10:30 pm

Keith, your R655 is spectacular! The blade etch is very well preserved.

espn77 · Post by **espn77** » Thu Aug 31, 2017 10:33 pm

Thanks Jerry. You have been a little quiet in the Remington forum. Sure would like to see more of your knives.

Keith, here is a H-T-T trapper that was sold along with subscriptions to the Hunter Trader Trapper magazine. I superimposed the H-T-T trapper and it's big brother R293B onto a page from a circa 1930's advertising page from the magazine.

The H-T-T Trapper was made with a blade etch that says "H-T-T Trappers Knife". The etch on my knife if faint. Once upon a time, I saw a very good example with a more readable etch that got away from me

. There is a picture below that highlights the etching. The contrast in this photo has been boosted significantly to highlight the etch.

The picture with the magazine ad in the background is really large so it will be slow to download if you click on the small preview image.

Both your knives are extremely nice. Pretty cool it still has the etch

I can finally stake a claim, no matter how small, to being a Remington knife collector with this Baby Ruth R1823 serpentine jack.
