Careful Skip collecting cutlery ephemera can be more addictive than the knives themselves!

This afternoon I added this CATTARAUGUS CUTLERY COMPANY key fob to my collection.
It is stamped W. & H. CO (Whitehead & Hoag Company).
It's 1 1/8" in diameter.
A big THANK YOU goes out to Mike, aka galvanic1882 for selling this item to me.

Today, this KEEN KUTTER price guide joined my ephemera collection. Soft cover, 152 pages.
It's complete and in EXCELLENT condition. The cover isn't damaged, that's glare from my lights.

Thanks, Skip 👍..I wonder what they're worth? I want to offer my uncle something reasonable for them ::shrug:: he paid $10 each for two knives and they came with them .. a decent little Queen and a decent little Camillus ...I think I'm going to offer him $50 for the knives and slips ::shrug::

I don't know what the total worth/value is. A $50 offer
sounds fair, for the amount of money spent. I'll bet your
uncle refuses to take the money.

Right, he usually gives me things or sells them to me for what he has in them. The knives are probably $20 hoks.. I really want the slips 😁, later tater
