Cattaraugus Cutlery Co. Little Valley N.Y. 1886-1963

[edge213]

Hey guys,

Since it's the Christmas Season, I thought I should make a photo with a pair of Cattaraugus gentleman's knives handled in Christmas Tree
celluloid. The image still needs a little work. There is an etch on the smaller knife as well.

Here's hoping for a wonderful New Year!

The handles on these two are quite attractive.

Would you PLEASE post them here also.

Mike, thank you. Very significant documentation you have. The backside of the envelope is like a catalogue page showing knife razor and scissors. Very 'neat'. I have never seen this type of envelope before. This paperwork is an important and significant addition to your collection.
And shows my knife could be as old as 1897 which is older than i had guessed.
Great post, thanks again.

Here is a large 4 3/8" swell center whittler. The blades suffered some pitting possibly from off gassing of nearby celluloid, and then the blades were buffed. Most of the tang markings have been removed but i can just make out the beginning of "Cattaraugus" in an arch.
I think this size of swell center whittler is somewhat rare.

"Here is an old 1897 envelope that shows the knife and some other Cattaraugus items. Inside the envelope was a shipping notice dated 1897"

Don't think I posted these before but if I did ;sorry. Got it at an estate sale this past summer on the third day.Can't believe I missed it the first couple times of looking.Guess everybody was looking at all the KA-BAR Collector's Club knives.The others I've acquired since my first post in this thread in 2014. I have a couple of the small cleavers now and the one fish knife that has the boar's head on the handle isn't marked but it looks like the other ones I have that are.The Catt folding machete I had only the picture with the Case.

A Catt MOP whittler I just picked up.

What a beautiful knife, John. Such nice condition.

I got this 2 3/4" sleeve board jack and despite the fact that someone put it to a power sander, it's still sweet.
The blades are nice and tight and they are nice and snappy!
Love the stable covers.

Thanks for looking.

I love old Cattaraugus knives, and that one is definitely a prize!

I bought a lot/group of 14 pocket knives just to get one particular pocket knife. This one, is not that particular pocket knife. I had to do some cleaning of the blades on this one. I thought I would find Germany or some other foreign tang stamp. I was quite surprised and pleased that it turned out to be a CATTARAUGUS - CUTLERY CO - LITTLE VALLEY - N.Y., 2 blades (what's left of them), 2 tang stamps, 2 3/4" closed, with beautiful mother of pearl handles. I can't find a pattern # stamp or its remains anywhere, if there ever was one. Even with the used blades, this piece of cutlery still has character. I took some pictures and here it is.
Caption(s), if any, are on the BOTTOM of the corresponding picture(s).

***** EDIT - I looked in my CATTARAUGUS CUTLERY CO catalog
and I believe that this pocket knife is a pattern/model # 22663. *****
