Remington knives with an etch

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.

WOW Keith, you have posted some great knives, I love Congress knives and that one is stunning. The Purina is also amazing, maybe I'm dense but I'm not comprehending " For Live Cars", any ideas?

I've thought about that. I dont know the answer but here goes. A live car would be a horse. Purina made horse grain so till someone provides the real answer I'm going with that. ::shrug:: ::dang::

That actually makes sense, I think cars were originally referred to as horseless carriage so I can see the connection. That has got to be one incredibly rare knife, both condition and the advertising.

The live cars was the Purina advertisement for shipping poultry across the country.

Lol. Brad. That's just not right to have a knife like that that you can't find. Its probably in the wall in the bathroom of the new house you built. I'm sure your wife will be impressed when you put a hole in it looking for it.

We did put a “spiritual protection box” over the front door, but no knives were included.
