Thanks dog!

Thanks Skip, Dan and Eric. I don't usually buy catalogs that don't have full-sized cuts, but this one seemed to have a lot of knives in it. There are 24 pages with knives on both sides of each page.Here's the catalog. I was a bit disappointed that the seller dated the catalog somewhere between in 1911 and 1934, but this letter explains the time frame. I was unable to find anything on the internet about Jas A. Irwin, so I was glad to get the letter. It seems as though Mr. Brumley led a full and interesting life. https://fortunekeoughfuneralhome.com/bo ... ituary.php

GREAT lking box, Mike!

Thank you, Skip. My collection of boxes is very minuscule compared to yours!

Yesterday, I added this Zippo, CASE XX (dating system) lighter
to my general knife and cutlery ephemera collection.
It's in MINT, unused condition.

Great finds on the Hammer Brand catalog and the NYKC box, Mike!
Excellent pick up on the Case lighter, Skip.

Thanks Dan. I was able to tell my wife that I had stopped buying knives for a week or so.

This morning, these two NEW YORK KNIFE COMPANY pocket knife boxes
became the latest pieces of cutlery ephemera to join my collection.
They are both in fairly good, overall condition.

Thank you Mike.

Per the seller, this item is from 1977 and it is the latest piece of pocket knife ephemera to join my collection. It's a hockey cards, wax pack wrapper, pocket knife offer. The offer doesn't mention the pocket knife manufacturer.

Very recently, this KEEN KUTTER pocket knife box joined my collection.
It's in FANTASTIC condition.
