Mike. Thanks for info on the Craftsman. They did order some nice ones in there days.

I am looking but can't see the "unlock" mechanism for the screwdriver blade.....



**EDIT**

I found this thread that shows the unlock for the screwdriver blade.

After throwing out several "minimum" bids, a knife finally fell in my lap last night.
I have this really nice looking P.A. Old Timer on the way.

Here is a seller's pic of it.....

Ike Another beauty Ike! Love the pattern.

Floyd, Skip, Tom, and Bill.......thank you, I appreciate it!

Ike, wonderful dogleg with nice full blades

Ike

That's a dandy Ike!

Thanks Lloyd, Roger, and David!

This Ulster (or so the sellers title said) looked interesting to me since it has bone covers.
I managed to land it from the bay.

It is all steel construction so that tells me WWII time period (?) maybe....
Was this one a military knife? Like a Corps of Engineers knife maybe?

Anyway..... here she is.....


I haven't been able to read the tang stamp to verify Ulster as the maker.
I sure hope it really is an Ulster.

NOPE.... it wasn't an Ulster.... it turned out to be a Camillus.

Very scarce Ulster knife company scouts with be prepared shields .
All have the early style blades so I suspect 1920s era .

Can't say I've run across one of these Ulster's before, a small 2 3/4" boys knife that somehow managed to keep its chain, still has a faint Ulster Brand etch.

Wow great knife
