Some outstanding bombs, bombers and targets, guys!
I've never seen that Case shield before but that 6375 has me drooling.
Jerry, Rogers made Delrin handles under their brand name towards the end, didn't they?
I've never seen Rogers-made Delrin to compare the jigging so I don't know if they were trying to reproduce their famous bone exactly or not, but I imagine it's possible. I expect that knife was made while Rogers was still in business, however...

I've heard that speculation before but I have no idea if it's correct. This I'm pretty sure of. The knife was made before Delrin® was introduced.
One more thing, if you look close at the blades, it's been stored with some outgassing Celluloid. There are some light rust marks on the blades that are indicative of that situation.

Didn't you notice? It has my name on the box. (I think they call that whimsical) Bought it off the shelf that way. Thought I would have a little fun with it during the holiday season.

So is that Jello Jerry on the box or is that cherry Jello just for Jerry?

It's just for Jerry, but he's only allowed to eat it while wearing the flower hat from the picture.

From American Pickers - The collagen in Jello comes from boiling the bones and hides of animals processed for their meat (usually cows and pigs). I'll pass thank-you!

I have a follow up for that but it's not appropriate.

He posted this no name Jack as one of his pick ups and I inquired about it since the Jack knives are one of my favorite patterns. He says, "It's yours" and I got it in yesterday's mail. I really like this mysterious feller a LOT. Black synthetic handles from the '40s - '50s - '60s, the good kind that doesn't shrink. Full blades that have great snap and no wobble but have no markings of any kind, anywhere.
THANK YOU SCOTT.
Possible identifying marks:
Anyone recognize the jigging?
Visible bolster pin on the top end but not on the cap end.
Rocker pin isn't visible.
Three handle pins but one is in an odd location.

Following Scotts trademark of going the extra mile there were several pads of Post-It notes and a small China made figural in the shape of a hand grenade. Cool.

Jerry, pretty sure it is a Kingston. Here is one I have. Also has not tang stamp but is etched Kingston over USA on the blade.

Exactly the same knife (except yours is in much better condition). Thank you Dan. I really appreciate you solving the mystery.
KAW posted that Kingston brand was only used from 1941-1958.

Congratulations to the both of you on giving and receiving such a beautiful knife.. That bomb certainly qualifies as a MOB; Mother of all Barlows.

Dang, Scott is a real, honest-to-goodness, old-school romantic. First he takes you out to dinner and then drops this bomb on you? Geez, that's more than I did when I proposed to my wife. I guess I shoulda married Scott instead!
Beautiful knife...what a great gift (both to give as well as to receive). Congratulations to the happy couple (Phil and his new knife).
