Restoring an old kabar oak counter display box and need to know what the knife display board looked like,what color the board was etc

Looking for photos of old kabar store counter displays in catalogs etc
And interested in any old catalogs you may have.

Thanks fellas

I have a reprint 20`s catalog and I don`t remember any displays in it.Also most old catalogs didn`t have color photos in them.

I think I may have that one ,smaller size cat?......also a good point Peanut..Unless the Color is mentioned...I may never know!
As far as I can tell ..there are not many of these Ka bar Displays around.

I had an old Kabar counter top display case. It was not as old as yours. Mine was from the 1950s with the Italic Kabar logo. It had a red background with white price buttons. The back of the cabinet had a locking door with storage inside for inventory. Inside the door was a metal tag stamped PROPERTY OF UNION CUTLERY CO. OLEAN, N.Y. I sold it a few years ago and don't have any photos. Hope this helps, Barry

Thank you Barry,I have 4 kabar cardboard boxes now,one of them is red&white,
Then there's blue,dark blue ,green,yellow or gold,a plain looking one. So they changed colors several times. Interesting though. Thanks again for you input
