Well Charlie, 'Ya told me what a hard bargainer you were, so I was waiting for a little
help !
Actually, your opinion was perfectly clear. $50 off would have made me
, but it was obvious that even in the last 10 minutes of the show, that old bird would sooner take the knife home than drop a nickel on the floor !

Well, he didn't lose a nickel, but he's obviously got no friends!!!

My motto "Never pay asking price!" Unless of course it's dirt cheap to start with.
great buttons Fran, love that hunting knife, it's probably my favorite schrade switchblade pattern.

WOW ! Ulf, What a beauty !!
Is that a new addition ?
I've only seen one of those for sale. and it was worth more than my pickup truck.
I'll have to get real lucky at a flea market to add one to my collection.

That Hubertus is an unusual one for sure Kaleb.
Ulf, I love all of those display cards you have. Unfortunately I have nowhere to put anything like that. No point in hiding them under the sofa.

Here are my two latest additions. (
In the auto category. ) A Shapleigh Hardware Co. office knife with great handles and patinaed but full spear and spey blades with overall light scratches, and a gold filled pullball made by the G.Schrade Co.for the JCN Co. I don't think the pullball was ever used or carried, and looks much better in hand than it does in photos.

My first pressbutton, a Schrade/Walden. I think these were termed "Hunter's Pride".
Re: My First Pressbutton

Hunter's Pride it is Bull, and a nice snag !
It looks like jigged black celluloid handles, which may be less common than the bone, which were from Schrade Cut. Co.
Welcome to the Bob Club !
Bonkers over buttons,
Fran

Thank you for the welcome Sauconian. You're right, they are jigged celluloid. That's interesting, that celluloid handles on this particular knife could possibly considered somewhat more rare than bone. Thanks for the information.

Here's a Pretty minty Hunters Pride I just picked up. Ended up being in much better shape than I had thought when I bought it. Wasn't ever sharpened. Boy was I pleased when I opened the box!
