That "Cotton Sampler" is the cat's rear-end!

Good job John

Nice unmolested condition with close to full blades.

That is a great find John. The sheep’s foot blade is

Thanks Bill.. O'.

That is a Beauty!

What a beautiful little jack!

Here are three Ulsters that I'm proud to be a care taker for a while.

Iron bolsters and back springs. Don’t know how this knife survived. Never sharpened. Good three way strong snap. Different tang stamps on the blades. Brass pins holding wood grips. No numbers.

Three of my Ulsters
1st is a stockman 45, but the pattern # of the last two are still a mystery. Tang stamp on the 2nd is Ulster Knife Co., and the Congress is Ulster Knife USA. No ID numbers on either of these knives. If someone had any dates or listings, I would greatly appreciate the clues.

My one and only Ulster that I’ve had for quite a while.
If anyone can put a date on this I would appreciate it thanks.
I’m getting interested in traditional pocket knives again but will probably stick to something with a locking blade.
Cheers all.
Edit:- I think I’ve found it on a scout knife site saying it’s
‘62-‘79 ?

That's a beauty too. Love the lines, the etch, the condition and the salesman sample is a sweet one to have. Excellent. Congrats on scoring that one.

Mike, gorgeous example
