Remington R3155 - pyremite?

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.

Remington R3155 - pyremite?

Post by tc3500 »

Just got this today, really great color on it. Would this handle material be pyremite? or celluloid?
Anyway, I was nicely surprised to open it, nicer color in person than photo. Anyone have a book
with tang stamp year and value? Definitely not selling, just curious. Thanks.

Pyremite and celluloid are the same thing. Remington just used the word "pyremite" as their trade name for celluloid.

Nice old knife.
