All About Pocket Knives

Mike that is a dilly of a display case...I would expect no less from you. You have a great looking Man cave! Love the Mirror and lighting. It looks to be a great place to hang out in and tinker around. I have super zoom on my lap top and caught it in the reflection of the glass on your display. Just as I noticed several ol' blue ribbons...why were they awarded? Great stuff as always Mike!

Dimitri, That one is near mint. As you know when they come in super nice condition they come with a super nice condition price... but I like to dicker and trade, so a fella can end up on a pretty good note.

Hers' a neat one.

Remington's "Our Hunting Heritage" Bicentennnial Coin 1976. Hard to believe that was forty years ago! The knife marked at 2006 denotes several special dates and fits well with the theme.

Wow that display is sweet! I have one that is very similar to that one, but i don't know that much about it. I'll dig it out of storage and post some pictures soon. Mike.

Ribbons were from our local vintage motorcycle show .
I'm a power sports mechanic so all the fun happens in my shop

Awesome ! Would love to see it .

This is my Remington display. It says Remington Dupont on the bottom and both sides. It says fine american made pocket knives across the top. Holds twenty four knives in front and has storage in back. Mike.

That's sweet Mike,(SK) and so is the machine on the rack. If ya do what ya love ya never go to work ya go to have fun! Thanks for sharing!

Mike,(MP) love your display and especially the graphics. What year is that? What would "you" use to spruce her up?

I'm guessing the display is from the thirties. I got it from a friend who said it was his grandfathers and he owned a hardware store back then. The dupont logo kinda fits that era i understand, and the prices listed in the display are all between a dollar or two. Mike.

Thanks Mike !

What a beauty Mike . I agree on the age should be around 1934-39

Scout, any idea of a value on these displays? I saw one like yours on a web site a while back, the guy was asking 850.00. Could that be possible? I have been looking on e-bey, but can't find any. I wish I could remember the site where I saw it. Wonder if it ever sold? Did you clean yours up? If so, what did you use? I haven't touched mine, afraid of messing up finish. HELP!!! Mike

850.00 is about right , mine had lots of white paint drops all over and was a pain to remove but other than that I just used wood furniture cleaner .

Scout is your display older than mine? Mine seems to be black paint, witch is not a color that Remington usually paints their stuff. I'll try to clean it up a bit, maybe it's just dirt!! HE HE.

Their both DuPont era so 34-39

Beautiful display cases. I saw a Dupont era stained glass lamp a while back that was very tempting.

Here is another stock knife. This one has seen some use and sharpening.

Thanks for looking.

Jerry that is a great looking stockman, even though a little blade use in great condition and again great looking
bone on the handles. As always thanks for the look see!

Past and Present...

Real nice bunch of scouts!!! Especially like the bone handle. Mike.

Thanks Mike!

How 'bout some beautiful original posters to look at

Rocky, a great collection of paper. Thanks for showing those.

Joe you are welcome. Just to be clear, I have offers in on the lot of these, but they are yet in my personal collection. Working and hoping on a good out come. They are so colorful and have great content. Great pieces of advertising art that you don't get a chance to see everyday.

All sold at auction...Way to rich for my wallet... most sold between 1,000-1,500 each per Hal Boggess. Krazy numbers but if I had it to spare... I would. Great pieces. He has one calendar left for $850. It is from 1928 and It's called, "old boy we have a great combination". I did purchase a few other items that I will post when they arrive.

Hal Boggess is a terrific person and authored this book. Great information, great guide!

Some look see for us Remington lookie-loo's!
