I received a nice 1971 case stockman today. It was an impulsive but good buy for $50.

[doglegg]

Great buy David. I guess there was a veterans discount.
Knice knife Paul, I like the scales.

Was out today and decided to stop at a pawn shop that I'd never been in. I looked at the Marble’s Lockback for $25 out of curiosity because I didn’t have one like it. Then I asked to see the Craftsman 3 blade which is a very nice knife, also for $25. The man behind the counter and I talked a little and after I put in a plug for AAPK and asked if he gave veteran's discounts, he paused for a moment and said, “both for $20.” WHAT’S A COLLECTOR SUPPOSE TO DO?IMG_20190525_154417.jpgIMG_20190525_154658.jpg

Say, "Thank you. "

Great score!!

[Steve Warden]

Looking good, Paul!

Great! I'm guessing, is the Craftsman a Schrade 3rd Generation Stockman with a handle inlay?

Lots of fine pickups here. Paul your Ulster is marvelous. An exceptional piece.

I'm going to have to leave that up to one of the experts here at AAPK. Here is the full description:

USA Made Sears CRAFTSMAN Model 94607 Three Blade Pocket Knife. Closed length on the knife is approximately 3". The main blade reads "CRAFTSMAN Gunstock STAINLESS STEEL" The tang stamping is: "CRAFTSMAN U.S.A. 94607" The shield is marked "SOFT GRIP" The handles are stainless with rubberized slabs on them (great shape) All three blades are in perfect unused condition - No wear - No wobble - No usage marks.

I am thinking it's a camillus product.

[TripleF]

I'm a huge fan of Western steel, it takes such a keen edge, even I can make it sharp!!

I like the straight blade as opposed to the swooped up back Western's....not sure if I'm clear on that, but I scored
this off ebay for $19.99 and it will be my bushctaft/mission knife!!!

[doglegg]

Scott, I know some boys that are sure going to like it.

Thanks Mark @ Sharpnshinyknives! You're great to deal with!!!

[New_Windsor_NY]

Nice score Doc. What is the background item?

[WillyCamaro]

Yes Doc. Mark is great to deal with!

[Doc B]

Nice score Doc. What is the background item?

Thanks, gentlemen. In the background... an old pulley...possibly hung, in / around the barn, for hauling up and stacking bales of hay.

Ah, so that's what that is. A very cool looking item also.

[doglegg]

Great photo and knife Doc.
Found this little Kutmaster castrating knife for cheap on the bay and fished it out.

[Sharpnshinyknives]

You’re welcome. That is one sweet knife. And yes that is a pulley for hay, I remember those in the barns I worked in, makes me shudder. I hated baling hay, I liked the money though when I was a teenager.
Glad you like that knife.

Dollar an hour or a penny a bale. Depended on who you were working for. I tried to get a dollar an hour if it was the second cutting or especially on the third cutting. A very few paid 1½¢ a bale. That was living large but they were few and far between.

Jerry, I had a farmer offer to pay me by the bale once, but I declined. I thought he was trying to take advantage of me. I figured he already knew how many bales were in the field and knew exactly what I would get paid. I had good reason to distrust him, he was my alcoholic step father. I won’t get into the abuse I suffered from him.
I wish I was still that age ,but not that work.

That was standard pay for putting up hay in Central Illinois in 1960. Buck an hour or penny a bale, at the end of the day, it usually came out fairly close to the same.
