That's interesting. My previous use of the word "rimmed" was incorrect. Thanks for sharing that.ken98k wrote:Some examples of rimmed vs rimless cartridges.
Nice handles on that one. What does the V in V6254 stand for?ken98k wrote:Fresh from the mail box. Case V6254

bdev you have good taste.bdev wrote:This Queen just arrived. A 4" stockman with punch, pattern 37. Winterbottom Delrin. Circa 1958-60.

Probably not if the handles really are Delrin and the knife really is 1958-60. Dupont didn't open their Delrin factory until 1960.bdev wrote: Winterbottom Delrin. Circa 1958-60.

It is possible that it's not "Delrin" as supplied by Dupont but it is a synthetic. The tang stamp dates the knife to 1958-60 but I'd bet it's 1960 or even a year later. Those tang stamp dates do vary.jerryd6818 wrote:Probably not if the handles really are Delrin and the knife really is 1958-60.

In 1960, DuPont completed construction of a plant to produce its own version of acetal resin, named Delrin, at Parkersburg, West Virginia.

Of course, given this is Case, I suppose it could also be "Vintage Delrin"...
How ya liking the knife so far?It's settling in. So far I haven't done anything but chicken eye and coon finger it and it will never get used so I can't pass judgment on performance. Out of the tube, it needed a drop of Quick Release on the joints but it's motorin' just fine now. I don't have any buyers remorse.sunknife wrote:Good looking bone on your bird dog 56 Jerry.

Maybe ,maybe not, DuPont was a very innovative company very big in R&D, they would PROBABLY had a small manufacturing facility to develope products and customers a few years before committing to a full fledged factory, so it's not out of the realm of possibilities that cutlery companies had access to Delrin before '60.jerryd6818 wrote:Probably not if the handles really are Delrin and the knife really is 1958-60.

Neat little knife TFL. I got a little Remington that looks a lot like it. Haven't taken a picture yet.TwoFlowersLuggage wrote:In the mail today was another bottom-feeder special - a Kutmaster pen knife with yellow cracked ice handles. Unfortunately, this one has a burn mark on the front handle, and someone appears to have gone after the blades with a ham-handed attempt at sharpening. Oh well, they can't all be gems! I just liked it because it is a pen knife from a US company that I did not previously have - Utica Kutmaster.

Western shifted from stag and bone stag to Delrin in 1961, the year after Delrin was first available commercially.TwoFlowersLuggage wrote:Here's an interesting article that includes some info on when Queen transitioned from Winterbottom bone to Delrin.

This article seems to indicate it was actually Rogers Mfg Co. (the handle supplier to pretty much the entire US pocket knife industry) that first made the transition, and that was in the late 1960s.
Good pick up. Great handles.Brumbydownunder wrote:DSCN7058 (2).JPG
