Thank you JP.
The trade cards are pretty cool.
I want to try and find the pocket knife
that's being offered in the ad. Should be easy.....

Well if any one can find it, it’ll be you.

Thank you JP.

My two, so far, CATTARAUGUS CUTLERY COMPANY time cards.
The first one is for E. H. Langhans.
28 hours worked, $12.50 earned.
The second one is for John Schultz.
40 hours worked, $20.00 earned.
Both are in GREAT condition.
Captions, if any, are on the BOTTOM of the corresponding picture(s).

I received this today. A Queen Steel #22 Barlow Knife Box with Display top and Back board. It is like new with only a couple of very fine veins or bends and no scuffs. It has the die-cut display straps that have not been detached. Here are some photos, the last photo with my Queen Steel # 22 with it.

Appreciate it Skip. Now if I could find the pamphlet or papers that went the #22, that would be great. Like Roseann Roseanna Danna used to say, "It's Always something."

Those are amazing Skip. Do you know about what years they may be from? 40 hours for $20, a whopping 50 cents an hour. Seems I read somewhere that the average wage for a laborer in 1940 was around 30 cents an hour. So someone who was a craftsman could possibly make close to that.

My Grandfather was a Machinist during WW-II and working with a Government run Shipyard in Mobile Which built Cargo Ships & Tankers until 1946. I remember him saying that he made $35 a week, which was better money than he was making before the war in Tuscaloosa at a Machine Shop. But during the war they worked a lot of hours and 6 days a week.

Thank you Smitty.
I believe the 1st time card is from 1923.
I believe the 2nd time card is from 1921.

Very recently, this pocket knife box joined
my knife & cutlery ephemera collection.

Nice box, Smitty, and great to have the knife to go with it, in very good condition to boot.
Good find on the time cards and a great pickup on the Schrade box, Skip.

Somewhat of a holy grail being a lifelong LF&C collector - only one I ever seen - 25 Year Employee Service Pin - enjoy! Tom

Tom, that's a VERY nice piece of LF&C memorabilia.
Nice grab!

Very nice, bestgear, great pickup.

Nice stuff here folks!
Not Sure if this 1902 Catalog fits here , but going to post it because of the knives !
Went looking for knives ,this was what ended up with. Makes for a good rainy day read .

Very nice find, JP. I bet there is a lot of interesting stuff in there besides knives.

NICE pickup JP!
Old catalogs are fun to read through.

Dan , Skip thanks fellas
These old Catalogs are interesting. I think about what it was like for our forefathers, there wasn’t any Fed ex or Speedee delivery . Had a lot more patience back then ,a hundred plus years ago .

Picked up this Remington box , I have these two Schrade employee pins I have had a while.

Neat stuff there gnome!
Never knew Schrade had the Employee pins , very cool . Did they do more than the 5 and 10 year pins ?
Thanks for posting those
