auction picture

Post by just bob »

This is a framed picture from an on line estate auction near me. On the back it is dated July / 1968. It also has the maker of each knife. Kind of fun to see how many makers you can name. I didn't get many. I'll post the picture with the answers in a day or two.

The only ones I was sure of were the obvious ones - Randall No. 1 - Buck 120 - Grohmann Canadian.

I think there's also a Marbles Woodcraft and a
Marbles Ideal. Maybe I could identify more when I look at it on my computer screen instead of on my phone.

While I'm sure a lot are from custom makers, I think in addition to all of those mentioned above, at least one may be a Western.

Randall, Marble's, Marble's, Marble's . . . then it gets cloudy until the Buck (second from the right).

The knife to the right of the Canadian appears to be a magazine subscription premium "Elmer Keith" knife. I also think there are two by Gil Hibben (note slanted brass pommels).

Any info as to pricing?

No and it also doesn’t mention if this is one person’s collection or just a staged photo. Some of you guys are sharp and nailed a of the hard ones. The year 1986 is a huge clue.

Here is what is on the back of the knife picture. That Elmer Keith was a great ID. I had never heard of that or knew they existed. Some of the others were more well known.
