Remindton R33233

The Remington Corporation and the knives that they built have influenced the U.S. cutlery industry more than nearly any other manufacturer. From the time America was settled, to the end of WWI, American knife companies struggled to compete with Britain and German imports, but events that occurred during and after the First World War led to a great change in this phenomenon. Unprecedented opportunities arose, and Remington stepped up to seize the moment. In the process, they created some of today's most prized collectables. In an ironic twist, the next World War played the greatest role in ending the company’s domination of the industry.

I can't see that tang stamps well enough to narrow the manufacture date down any. It would have been made in the 20's or 30's with any tang stamp . I don't recall ever seeing this paticuliar shield before, but there were many different advertising shields used. If the knife were 100 % mint I'd say around $500 or so. In its present condition I'm guessing $75 give or take. There seems to be an extra number in the pattern number you gave us, was that a typo? If you can describe the tang stamp we can date it a little closer. ::tu::

It`s an R3233

R- Indicates it is a pocket knife

3- At the end indicates bone handles

It`s a Cattle knife pattern.

It should measure 3 3/4' long closed.

My Cyclone Drilling advertising knife is not numbered as many ad knives were not. The knife does however match up to the R3163. This knife is mint, I also had one I sold to Keith Espenson and it was not numbered either.

Sweet knife with an etch too! ::tu::

What's the background on Cyclone Drilling?
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

They are out of business now. I actually had a letter that was written back in the 20’s on the company letter head . I believe I gave it to Keith Espenson because he loves Remington paper materials also. We can find out from him where the company was located. He is at the Tulsa show until Monday and then we can find out. Take care.

I'll try Googling it to see what comes up, in the meantime. ::tu::

Interesting letter.

When I did a search, it kept coming up with a drilling company still in business, but started relatively recently, in Wyoming. So I discounted that information.
