Some Cattaraugus Items

The Cattaraugus Cutlery Company was started by John Champlin and his son Tint in 1882. It was first incorporated under the name J.B.F. Champlin and Son as a wholesale distribution company based in Little Valley, New York. The business proved to be a successful endeavor, and it soon branched into a knife production company named Cattaraugus.

Another, my second, CATTARAUGUS CUTLERY COMPANY time card.
This one is for John Schultz.
40 hours worked, $20 earned.
Yes, this is the same time card that is posted 3 posts above this one.
I didn't post that one. I didn't own this time card when that was posted.
I own it now. I'm posting it again, front and back.

Very recently I obtained another CATTARAUGUS CUTLERY COMPANY pocket knife box/display.
The spring was used to hold the pocket knife that was on display, in place.
In this case it would've been a, according to the label, pattern #22459 pocket knife.
It's in good+ condition and it will display nicely.
It measures 2 3/4" X 4 5/8" X 2 1/2."

***** The Measurements Of The Other Cattaraugus Box That I Posted
Were Wrong. It's Exactly The Same Size As This Box. *****
Here's The Link To My Other Cattaraugus Pocket Knife Box/Display:

Nice find Skip. ::tu:: Those old boxes are dangerous - now you have to find the knife pattern that came in it! :lol:

Thank you Ken.🍻
I have a few boxes that I need
to find the "go with" pocket knife.
It's just another fork in the road of collecting.

This knife has iron bolsters and iron back springs, probably as old as the box.

That's awesome, Dimitri! Really cool the way they marked the knife purse snap and that pen is outstanding. ::tu:: ::tu::

Very cool, thank you for sharing these great pictures... so for us younger folks ::paranoid:: can someone explain what a "four finger throw" is?
The picture brings back memories of me and my bro trying to "stick" our knives back in a day
Thanks...

If you look at the boy on the right, he is measuring with his fingers how high the knife stuck.
