Kathy,
You may not have seen the Clarence Risner’s Schatt & Morgan Premier knives, but he brought back that stamp on those knives. I thought it was a nice touch.

This is a great thread. And these boxes do not come cheap!

Here is a very colorful, nice E.C. Simmons Keen Kutter box that sold on Ebay this past week for $58.00.

Not my auction and I didn't win it.

You're right, that Keen Kutter is a nice looking box. ::tu:: I am proud to say that the Brown Bros is coming to my house. ::ds:: Mike (who is a great friend) ::handshake:: reluctantly agreed to sell it to me. ::pray:: I know of no other Brown Bros box, paper work or any other ephemera, so this is highly prized by me. ::woot:: As you all know, my first book dealt with the history of the Brown Bros from Little Valley to Tidioute to Olean ::nod::

I can't wait to see it. ::super_happy:: ::super_happy:: ::super_happy::

This one's a bit newer than the other "survivors" that have been posted.

It's a full NOS box of Imperial's "Open Stock" or "Hammer Forged" tribute to the Hammer Brand logo.

These rats were advertised as "Trappers" in the mid '70s??? ::shrug::

So, did someone here purchase the Winchester knife box on Ebay that held 1/2 dozen 1920 folding hunters?

Hmmmmmm?

Dimitri, do you have a date on that Puma box?
We sold them in the cutlery store in the 1980s and I am sure that box predates the '80s.
Maybe '50 or '60?
