Sorry for the delay, brain was elsewhere. No sir, think non-alcoholic beer

O’doul’s?

lol, think of an even more non-alcoholic beer or maybe one that only has beer in its tradename and is more of a caffeine-free, non-alcoholic soda pop known for its creamy vanilla taste and smooth mouthfeel. It’s reputed to me made with real cane sugar and natural flavors like birch bark, licorice, anise, and sarsaparilla.

OIde Tyme.. ( have 10 Kastor marks and none of them are Frostie, Hires, Barksdale, etc. ?????) J.O'.

That clue only applies to the root beer that's made in their restaurants

The kind you get in cans/bottles at the supermarket is different (quillaia extract??? ):
I’m sure J. O’. would have gotten it after the hint about names starting with A W, but I just happened to stumble in to check the thread at a lucky moment

Another one of Teutonic origin.....

Germany on the stamp...the secondary tool would come in handy if you needed to pop open a bottle of bestgear "beer"

Morley?

Swan Works

Junkerwerks O'.

Yeah I missed Wadsworth, wasn't thinking of first initials, Duh! ! O'.

None of the above.

Now would be a good time to rethink that

O'.

That was supposed to be a hint, along with "bestgear beer"

Das "Bier" war gut, ich werde noch eins haben

So the beer was tasty and I’ll have another? My German is way out of date - does that mean that the A W Wadsworth & Sons knife that I put up was so good that you put up another? I’m not making a guess, just fact checking my German.

Tom, your non-guess is correct; you have successfully deduced my “piggyback hint”. By default, I am obligated to declare you the winner of this round Gut gemacht!

Q - you are the Wizard of Words and the Master of Mysteries I pass my turn to JO who most likely has a beauty tee’d-up I’m out of pocket for a moment and wouldn’t be able post a new one soon

Tag your it JO

First thing in the morning. Just saw it. Thanks. O'.

Ok, American. May be jobbed, historical info not precise. Company is still in business since the 1880's but doesn't make traditional pocketknives. NOT a New England knife. J.O'.
