All About Pocket Knives

Here it is, older (before the shells came out) Hammer Brand, solid celluloid Cattleman
pattern. Stamp indicates year of 1936 to 37'. Has the original etch on the main!
This is a rare knife indeed to find in this condition, All original edges on blades looks like. Hope ya like it.
I finally snagged an original X-sleeve stamp!

ive a real problem with photobucket at the moment, i cant see them but it seems everyone esle can,

Time to switch to Tinypic.com unless you just use the AAPK site to load pics. That's what I do.

Super find on that blade etch, singin' Nicest cell Imperial I have ever seen
How on earth did it survive in that condition???

Nice pick Paul! That's an unusual one, having the shield with the Hammer stamp!

..... Joe

Thanks Joe! I think I'm finished collecting these now unless I see another handle I can't resist of course.

Perry,
What does this statement mean?
Mark

My latest hammer Brand

Cool little Hammer Gino! Hey Mark, the "X" sleeve refers to the back of the shirt sleeve on the arm of this stamp.

How's bout an animated stamp!

..... Joe

those are nice! likin hammer more lookin for more ! this is only one i got

Here is a few of mine. The top one is not a hammer. I really dont know anything about it. One blade says X L inside a triangle Cutlery. Japan on the other blade. Not real old but I know I have had it for over 25 years. My favorite has always been the silver hammer.

Well if you're only gonna have one cato, that one ain't too shabby at all! That Jack is really old.
I'm guessin 1920s or before. Beautiful Jack cato!

Great Hammer Brand knife.
New York Knife Co started using the Hammer Brand mark around 1882 and went out of business in around 1930.
Imperial bought the name and probably built more knives with this mark than New York Knife ever did.

Thought I'd try to revive this Hammer Brand thread and encourage everyone to show some more! Here's my most recent pick up, I posted it in the knife finds section, but thought I'd drop it in here too, dates from '45-'55 And here's a couple of Hammer Brand jacks, the "cracked ice" dates from '38-'41 and the black one dates from '45-'55.. ...and this purty little number here dates from '38-'41 also

Hey Mike, glad ya did! I love these things. I have one like the handle on that last one you showed. Think mine's a Jack pattern tho.
