Record price for a Remington box.

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.

Record price for a Remington box.

Post by remington collector »

To the best of my memory this is the highest price I've saw a vintage Remington cutlery 1/2 dozen knife box bring. A bit over $90. I've got a few dozen old Remington boxes and this one was the rarer variation.

No, I didn't get it. I had bid $51, and hoped for the best but it didn't go my way. :(
