All About Pocket Knives

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. *****

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

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.

Very cool, thank you for sharing these great pictures... so for us younger folks 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.

How's this for a piece of Cattaraugus and cutlery history, original bank note with a picture of JBF Champlin, Cattaraugus founder and the one that started the Case family in the cutlery business, on the front!! Looks more like a bank note than a check!!

Mike; WOW just WOW...thanks so much for posting those.

Figured it was time to revive this thread. My group of Cattaraugus tang stamp dies. Second picture top right is the rare 3C stamp and below that CCC in an arrowhead. There are 2 in there that are not Catt’s lower right. Henry Sears and an S&A
