Remington Catalogue

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 Catalogue

Post by Iron Hoarder »

I picked this up today and aside from a stain on the cover and some pen marks inside it's in good shape. Any idea what it's worth? I think I paid too much but I like it and I'm pretty sure it's an original and not a reprint.

It looks original to me. I'd say around $100.

Hate to disagree, however, since Remington went out of the knife business c. 1940 and ZIP codes (as in Middletown, Ohio 45042) didn't come into use until 1963, it appears that this catalog is some kind of a reprint.

Oh well. I might be able to get a partial refund. I know where to find the fella. It's still pretty neat.
