Neat. I have one knife with the "CCC" deeply stamped into blade flats. Fairly rare i believe.

Nice doctor's knife, Joe! ::tu:: I like the blade stamp. I have a Curtain & Clark, also with the same blade stamp and horn handles as well.

Joe, just noticed your knife is the older of the two stampings, very nice! Mine has the Kansas City stamp. Mine has also been cleaned and lightly buffed.

Nice one's Joe and Dan ::tu:: C&C made some interesting patterns.
This scout is 3 3/8", guess I'd call it a junor scout ?
It also has a number on the tang...maybe a pattern #.

That is a terrific display with the box, knifegnome. The box and knives are spectacular.

The equal end cattle knife with the nice little clip is quite similar to an American Shear and Knife that I got not long ago.
Maybe I can find it tomorrow. ---------- found it ------------
Thanks for a great show. ::tu::

Nice knife, Ann. Good find. Looks like it's in good condition.
It looks similar to mine on page 1. How long is it?

Thanks for posting it here.
