ScoutKnives, I have never seen that stamp before. Something else to look for.

I guess it is a scout knife and a camper? Cant tell.
Both are official scout knives one in genuine pearl other in bone pre 1927 models .
I have a early 2 blade easy open girl scout with the same stamp .
Always looking for Mint pre war scout knives

Is it a trapper?

Very nice additions to the thread.

Seems like somebody else also used that "Square Deal" logo.

Thanks fellas,Joe seems you have been pretty active gettin' a lot of knives lately.

Here's one I traded for this weekend. A very nice Wilbert Cutlery Co. rooster comb(flat side blades and it has the secondary blade that has the semi-spud with the thumb rest). Around 1916,Sears brand,made by Camillus I believe.I'll try to show this when I get to it in the farmers jack thread.

Thanks guys.

The reason I say it is Camillus, I got an old 1916 stamp Camillus at the Blade show exactly like it,only not nearly as good.They have extra thick liners,very heavy knives.These are the earliest authentically dated knives with those special blades.

Doesn't surprise me,those Germans engineer a lot of stuff.

I posted this in another thread but thought I'd toss it in here too. When I put it in the other threat I wasn't sure what it said. It is tang stamped on the master blade "A. Elrick" over "Aberdeen". The other two blades of this whittler are marked with Joseph Rogers common stamps for secondary blades._____Dave

Here is one from Memphis, Tenn that I have never seen before. RAZREDG. Shield on each side, pulls on each side of the blades and they go all the way through the tang! Fancy bolsters nice stag handles and the Ulster etch. What about the funky curved blade.

Picked up this old "Little Valley Knife Assn" toenail from Peanut740 at the Ky. show. Dates 1900-1905.
