Scott
looks like you have a Cat 225Q in the lower left of your picture. That's a keeper for sure, do anything you need.

Nice work Scott. What is the brand of the bone whittler and the black double end jack?____Dave

[TripleF]

Thanks, thanks fellas.

The black double end jack is actually a Hen & Rooster Whittler, and the smooth bone whittler is a Schatt & Morgan!

I had a little good fortune this weekend at a local flea market. Below are pictures of the recent finds after I had time to do a bit of cleanup. I was really excited with the Bertrum Cutlery Hen & Rooster and Puma knives that had stag handles. The cost of Puma and Bertrum was a total of $10.00

[Louisville.Boy1947]

Additional finds from the same vendor...again all were in his $5 per knife pile.....I bought several. The ones I have cleaned up are below. There are additional knives that are still to be cleaned up (a Bear & Son Cutlery Mini Trapper 4th Generation, a Queen Ky. Derby 100th Anniv. Peanut, a Queen Mini Trapper with wood handles (51T) will be posted after a little spit and polish is administered. Below are pictures of the one I have cleaned.

Nice hauls, y'all!

Those stacked leather handled hammers are really eye-catching.

[Quick Steel]

1947, Would happen to know if your Bertram was made before 1980?

[Doc B]

LB1947...Great finds at awesome prices!!!

[TPK]

Great finds LB1947 ! Especially the Hen & Rooster and Puma knives! What great prices! Congrats!!!

[Louisville.Boy1947]

Quick Steel...as far as I can determine ( by checking Goins, A G Edwards YouTube video, Levine, etc.) when the tang is marked like this one, Bertrum Cutlery on one side and the Hen & Rooster Solingen Germany, it is a post 1980 (1980-1990). I would have preferred it to have been a pre-1980 , but for $5 I am happy to have found it along with the Puma (that I believe is a better built knife).

Nice looking Case Selector Set, TripleF. There probably aren't many of those around.

[woodwalker]

a Camillus 72 clone at the antique store just a bit ago. Need to clean them up a bit.

Great find. Made for Sears by Camillus, it's a very early one.

Jerry about what date range? I tried sending you a PM but I don't think I am doing it right.

[djknife13]

I was minding my own business working and a neighbor of the cabin we are working on called and wanted to show me some knives he inherited and wanted to sell. I bought two, a Case XX 6165 SAB and a Remington R4593. ____Dave
