Schrade Day!
Posted: Thu Jun 21, 2007 3:44 am
A friend in my knife club e-mailed me last week, saying an old friend of his named Peter was thinning out his possessions. This Peter, who I never met before just happened to be Schrade's sales rep in western Canada in the 70's and 80's!!!
(Starting to get the picture??) He told me about Uncle Henry coming all the way out here, and coming to his house for dinner, and then doing a presentation for some of his buyers.
He wasn't much of a collector, but he kept a small case of Old Timers, and had a few used knives, and one little gem. He offered them to me for a very attractive price, and threw in an Old Timer hat, and a deck of Schrade playing cards.
Without further ado, here they are
!
The display is in good shape, very slightly stained from oil or something on the carbon steel blades. The hat is essentially new (unlike the dummy!).
The muskrats, a single spring Walden, and an OT are both lightly tipped (the screws in Peters glasses! grumble grumble!), and the Shaw-Liebowitz is mint in the box! Enjoy!
