Two very nice little packers you're showing, Ike.
Someone enjoyed them in earlier days and took care of them.

Nice ones Ike

Here's an old box....

Nice, thanks for showing, Dimitri.

It's nice to see it in this thread.

Good looking knife Ike. I'm trying to date that stamp?

I found it interesting everything Sanders Norvell had his fingers into. I'll post his obituary from the town his daughter was living in:

Good info, I am familiar with his life and work in the Midwest, but was unaware of some of that info which came later. At first, that article threw me a little, when I saw that he passed away while living in New York. I have seen his gravestone in Bellefontaine cemetary in St Louis, and briefly wondered why he wasn't buried in NY in a family plot. I checked, and he was predeceased by his wife, (buried in St Louis) and then it made sense to me.

Nice box
Ephemera is so hard to find. If only 100 years ago people knew the box would be so valuable...

Woah. Me too apparently. That man was a dynamo. I had no idea he had ties to Remington.
