Old and worn, but rescued and patched. I think this may be up to 100 years old. Made by Geo. Schrade, Walden N.Y. The punch has Pat. No. 701.878 stamped on it. Schade made these for hardware stores Like Belknap Hardware and Hibbard Spencer Bartlett Co. Found at estate sale, $1.00

Nice old cattle knife! It could tell a story or two! George Schrade company was in Bridgeport, Connecticut. It was totally unrelated to Schrade Cutlery Company (or Schrade Walden) of Walden, New York. I can't read your tang stamp, but if it is a Walden knife, and the tang stamp is in an arch, it MAY pre-date 1918 (or be close to thereabouts). The jigging is certainly not a latter-day style.
edit: Now I see your tang stamp. Several companies made knives for Primble hardware company.

Never said I had a direction to my collecting. Never wanted one either.

80's Colonial USA
'57-'73 Schrade USA 735 ss (L). only minor handling marks
GEC H73211 Bocote

Got two more for my end of day collection.

Thank you for the information, I had googled the patent number and came up with scant results, but Schrade was mentioned as a primary maker of John Primble labeled knives. I have begun to read about Geo. Schrade, he has a long and complicated history. I'll need to read more to understand his and his brothers companies. I like the bone on this knife, it's worn very smooth. Would like to see what the full blades looked like. Someone sure used it often. Thanks again. Bert

Beautiful stag on those Case's ,LC.

LC: Wonderful, rich looking handles.

Well after a huge drought, these showed up in the mailbox today! Thanks must go out to our own JoeDirt for sendin these to me. Thank you Joe for all you do and give to this site! This RCA Tubes knife is so cool I don't know what to do with myself. I have never seen such a knife before.

Nice ones Perry!

I love that RCA assisted open knife, the radio tube on the end is so

I agree...the RCA radio tube is very unique...nice ones,Perry!!

Is that where you've been lately Perry, pouting because of the knife drought? Sometimes it's either feast or famine.

Let me add my compliments on the RCA knife. Joe is going to be sorry he turned loose of it.

What a great bunch of knives, Perry!! And, what a great guy Joe is for passin' 'em along!! to both of you!!

Hey Perry Are You Sure ???????????

Oh mine is gone, trust me!

Nice pick up Perry
just added this older Remington to the collection

Congrats on that one Paul**** that's a real ""ROPE KNIFE"" for sure says so right on the side !!!!!!!!!!

heh… ummm...are these rare at all? I mean with the serrated blade…

OKgreenhorn
I haven't seen many but that doesn't mean much? I do think it's a bit unusual and I like it

You may want to post it over in the case collectors forum, here under "board index"
Some of those case guy's would know more and would be more likely to see it over there. They might not always come to the general new pick up thread
