Both of those are awesome, Ike. I'm partial to those teardrop E.O.s and that knife with the spatula trips my "unique" trigger. ::tu:: ::tu::

Welcome to AAPK. Hibbard, Spencer, Bartlett was a hardware distributor, still in business today but known as True Value Hardware. At one time they carried an extensive cutlery line and had several house brand names, all of which were made for them on contract by cutleries. Ulster, Schrade, Utica, Robeson, are some. They never manufactured cutlery themselves. Your knife has little collector value due to condition problems. If in better condition it would be collectable as some folks collect hardware company knives including the Hibbard, Spencer & Bartlett brand. Looks like it has some life remaining so it could be a user.

You can find hundreds of examples and more information about the company by using the keyword search capability here, found under Quick links on the upper left of this thread.
