Yup, Montgomery Wards. Likely made by Utica.

Don't know if Wards is Montgomery Wards or not. I do have a knife with theMeridian_Mike wrote:This here Wards pocket knife just walked in. SO.... Wards.... Is this a knife made FOR Montgomery Ward?

same style bottom. It was made by Camillus Cutlery Co., but yours doesn't
look like a Camillus shield.

NW, yours looks like a Camillus 69 from here.
Mike, I have a couple of them Wards marked knives with bone handles. One is a straight up Camillus and the other most likely a Winchester. The old Wards I’ve seen have all been top notch.

This one looks like a good 'un. Good F&F and it has good snap too. I think after a quick clean-up and some badly needed oil.... This one will go on my top shelf.Colonel26 wrote:N

Re: Wards....As in Montgomery Ward?
I have these two Wards cattle knives that are identical except for the punches. One has an awl like you see on Utica knives, and the other has an spiral awl like you see on Camillus knives. I understand Winchester did make some also. Yes, this is Montgomery Wards. Goins states 1935-1950. I think some time after that date they were marked PowR Kraft.

Powr-Kraft is of course correct.

Nice knives OC....!
Yep... this thread would not be complete without a #72 ..... SO, is that Power Craft made by Camillus?
