No pattern number, stockman. I think that's a "Tested" shield, so possibly a transition knife. Do you agree?

Posted: **Sat Oct 03, 2009 10:19 pm**

Yes it is very early in the XX era nice knife. I guess you could call it a transition knife.

Here is a really old one......Union Razor Co. Tidioute Pa.

I wasn't aware of the length differences with the 45 pattern. I'll write that as a note in my book. Congrats on catching that one.

That's early jigging on that one Fran. Could be pre-WWI, IMO.

Ok that's it,

all these PA knives need to be packed up and sent to me.

I only want one of each, that leaves lots for you guys.

Gee, how I am I suppose to have a PA collection when you guys find all the great stuff.

I LOVE IT, MORE PLEASE

Hail Fran-man! Whence cometh yon pearly beauty??

It cometh from the noble Sir Mark Zaleski, this very day, and for such minor recompense as to be verily a boon.

Sir Mark rescued yon pearly beauty from the dark and dreary cigar box of her cruel captivity at the NCCA show only months ago.

In truth I speak.

Forsooth, Mark be an honorable man, and kindly of spirit!
And Ye both have the eye for comely Pearl and Metals.
Indeed the object ranks close in beauty, in this wretched life, to Maidens of the finest Flower!!

Here are some I have from good ole PA.
Schatt & Morgan and GEC Tidioute on Cocobolo

Upnorth, Wosey, Sauc and now even Cam are posting pics that KILL me!

All those fantastic Spear Points!!!

That Baldwin is sweet for sure. Mark treated you well Fran, remember who sent him to you

. LOL!!

Very nice bunch of knives. My collecting focus has been to get at least one example of all the knives that "I FEEL" are in some way related to the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. Therefore when I have several Baldwins in my collection already, "unless I feel the latest one is a vast improvement upon the example that I have" I tend to pass on them.

I have to admit that my collecting has slowed considerably in the last two years as my collection has grown and my list of WANTS gets increasingly smaller. I look for the elusive Smethport cutlery and several from Pittsburgh with no luck for quite sometime. I thoroughly enjoy this thread and hope it continues.

Thanks guys

This one isn't as old as the lovely cutlery contraptions you'uns posted but it is from PA.
Says so right on the tang, Imagine that.
CASE Rog6207D, tang dated 1990.
Has 1992 on left bolster since it was the 1992 annual
Cofer Brothers issue.
CB stamped into right bolster and "Cofer Bros." Clip etch.

Fortunately (I believe) Trappers do not "trip my trigger".

But I do so love Spear and Pen blades!

Posted: **Mon Nov 16, 2009 2:38 am**

Yeah, I'm not a trapper fan either.
More a Jack & Stockman sort a guy.
But all the makers create SOOOO
many trappers it's just about impossible
not to acquire any.
Like trying to run in the rain and not get wet.
Here'za Pencilvania built PUR6254 I had to get
'cuz it is purple all over, ain't no periwinkle in
them bones.

Hey, nice place you've got here at AAPK! I'm in North Central Pennsylvania, does anyone know of any knife manufacturers that may have operated in this part of the state? It looks like there were some beautiful knives made in The Keystone State. Now I got to get me some

Posted: **Mon Feb 15, 2010 11:49 pm**

Thanks a bunch, and welcome to the site!

Warm

to the site. I think there might be some knives made in your general neighbourhood

Looking forward to seeing you onboard.

Thank a lot S-K. There's sure plenty to see and learn here. I know there was/is several knife manufactures in Pennsylvania, mostly in the western part of the state from what I gather so far. I think they turned out some nice knives, time do do some research!

Posted: **Thu Mar 04, 2010 7:07 pm**

Here's my latest purchase a C. F. WOLFERTZ & CO ALLENTOWN PA. 3 -5/8" Swell End or Teardrop
all steel except for shield and pins. Schrade made most likely I think UpNorth has an old arch stamped cut co. that is a dead ringer for this one.
Took a quick pic of it today, when I have more time I may take some better pics.
