I picked up 3 more Wabash Cutlery.
The office knife is kind of unique. The main blade is stamped Wabash Cutlery, the secondary is stamped Indiana Cutlery.
Wabash changed its name to Indiana in 1931 then back to Wabash in 1933.
This is the first one that I've seen like this.

Very nice Edge. Wabash did some great celluloid. Rare birds on the east coast. J.O'.

Lucky you David. Here's one of my two. I love the celluloid on this one and, thankfully, it isn't too shrunken or gassing. Main stamp is WABASH CUTLERY CO. in a half moon over TERRE HAUTE and the secondary is W.C.C. over T.H.,IN. J.O'.

Thanks to Roger added a pretty amazing large 4 1/4" stag sheepsfoot jack this week. Sold by J M Schmid & Son Providence, RI, J M Schmid was a retailer with a long history, 1871 to1964. They did not make their knives but had them made for them, German, English and US companies, most likely this knife was made by Ulster or Utica, both companies used stag in the early 1900's.
This knife covers a lot of the patterns I collect, early stag, sheepsfoot jacks, jumbo jacks.

If you weren't a sheepsfoot jack fan, that would make you one! Congratulations on the addition, it is a real stunner!

Here is some nice old pick bone on this Ulery, etched "Loos and Dilworth, Paragon Oil Co".
Question......has anyone out there ever seen a Ulery with bone handles, or any scales other than metal?
