Re: Show off your Winchester Knives
Nice couple of Cokebottle knives. Do you know if the difference in the jigging pattern equates to a difference in age? For example, I wonder if the knife with longer groove-like jigging might be newer. My basis for that observation is from a couple of Remington knives I have where the more Rogers-like jigging is on an earlier knife than groove-like jigging.
Re: Show off your Winchester Knives
Shawn nice pair of 1920 Winchesters. The top knifes bone is more typical of what I see. Both nice.

Re: Show off your Winchester Knives
Jerry, I wondered the same thing! I’m sure it is related to age but hard to prove. Because they were different I had to keep both.RalphAlsip wrote: ↑Fri Nov 15, 2019 3:25 am Nice couple of Cokebottle knives.

Re: Show off your Winchester Knives
Would that and the bone on the bottom folding Hunter be considered Banana bone jigging?Jacknifeben wrote: ↑Tue Nov 19, 2019 5:48 pm Here is the bone on my 2907 if you want to compare bone.

Re: Show off your Winchester Knives
The jigging is similar to Rogers jigging pattern. I’m not familiar with Banana bone jigging. Seems a lot of companies pre 1940 had similar jigging in their bone knives.
Maybe Peanut740 or Stockman could enlighten us more!

Re: Show off your Winchester Knives
Shawn, Rogers bone changed over the years, your knife could be Rogers. I know KK's were handled in Rogers and they and Winchesters were made in the same factory for a time.

Re: Show off your Winchester Knives
Anyone know the approximate value of this old Winchester marble celluloid Jack knife?
Made in USA
Bought it for $3 at an antique store.
It was all corroded and filthy.
Took it home and cleaned and polished it.
Cool little pocket knife

Re: Show off your Winchester Knives
Nice old contract made Winchester, probably from the later 1930's. Value is highly dependent on condition, therefore no one can really put a value on it from the information given. Needed information would include, size of the knife, pictures of the other half of the knife, information on how the blades snap open and closed, and any information on other damage. Having said all of that, if the knife is 3 1/4" +/-, if the knife snaps and if there is no unseen damage (e.g. to the other side of the knife) I would guess that the knife would sell on the big auction site for $20-35. The value suffers because the knife is not an actual Winchester made knife but rather a contract. JMO
