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

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.

Couple of amazing knives Roger. Never heard or seen TTC before. Did you ask for Wyeth Wannadotoo? Here is some of mine. Been chasing them for a few years now.

Carl Spitzer (Solingen) (1863-197?)had a standing lion mark. Maybe ???? J.O'.

Found Art. Ullis, Tacoma. Sporting goods also imported German knives. Out of business, 1970's or 80's. Nice looking knife. J.O'.
