Thanks Ike.

Couple of great knives Roger

[Ripster]

TTC inside a diamond. These are an early Sears brand from my research. Both are mint,the curved jack is definitely Napanoch made,as I have the same knife stamped Napanoch.The coffin jack,don't know. The stamps vary,so possibly different manufacturers.

2 gorgeous pieces there Roger .
Do you know when Sears used this Company ? They had a Sears and Roebuck & co. Stamp in 1902 and a Wilbert stamp in 1908 , IIRC . Would these be after that sometime ? And do you know what the TTC stamp stands for and a time period it was used ? Trying to figure the Early years of Sears and there use of tang stamps ,any help is appreciated !
Thanks for the pics and info .

Levines Ed 4th TTC Diamond Brand NY 1909. Also listed in Sears 1905-1910 The Best of Sears Collectibles. I could not find what TTC is. This Sears book is from Arno Press A NewYork Times Company 1976. I found my book in a junk store a back. Maybe a little help. Harold

Shumate cutlery.......awesome!

Pretty cool.
I've seen a lot of Shumate straight razors, but never a pocket knife.

Awesome knives, and that's my go-to book as well.



Cool Shumate.
