KNIFE FINDS OF THE DAY

[TripleF]

From Webster Flea Market today

Nice, nice, nice!
I, too, like those fixed blades, and the old
bone, and that stag above the Bucks.
Good day you had, a good day.

Nice work Scott. Looks like you had a really good day. ___Dave

Scott, very nice "knife picken" I like em all! Terry

Thanks fellas!! Looking forward to going again next week!!

Only one table of knives at a local gun show, but one was this green bone Case Tested camper with the Case Scout shield. It's all there except the bail (it bailed, sorry, that slipped out). It has some age pitting but full blades and great snap and at $75 I figured it was a good deal. The other two are Case XX's and they just jumped into the picture because they looked good with the green bone and to give the picture a little color. I've had them for a while. ____Dave

Another long dry spell broken over the last few weeks.

IH, That's an interesting letter opener you have there...I wouldn't mind seeing a little more of it.

Oh, do I have a good time at the collectors swap in New Westminster! It’s put on by the Fraser Valley Antiques and Collectables Club, twice a year at the Queens Park Arena. I went Saturday and today and I was a busy girl.

The big fixed is a William Rogers ‘I Cut My Way’.
Next to it are the Richards. They are the small plaid, celluloid ‘bone’, blue and green celluloid and ‘bone’ fishknife. Crossways at the top is an IXL that’s about to be an EDC! Below it, the odd little object is a sort of scalpel that drops out of the brass handle using a mechanism like a ballpoint pen. Even odder, it was made by the Eagle Pencil Co. Next to it, we have a Remington three blade. The bright silver, probably nickel, is a bit of a mystery. I’m going to post it’s tang stamp on another thread. I want to see if I’m right. The little ones are nameless but fully functional and I just love ‘em!
The sword seems to be a Bangkung from the Philippines. The horse hoof pommel would make it probably post WW2. I paid a very low price for it and it’s my first sword. I’m pretty happy with it.
Not a bad haul, eh?!

Ann and Berry, nice work and some nice knives. Ann, the little brass Eagle's were sold by the same company that made the Eagle pencil company for sharpening their pencils. The had some that were multiblade bone handled slipjoint pen knives and are really nice little knives along with the brass ones. That was the Eagle Cutlery Co. not to be confused with Eagle Knife Co. that Winchester bought out in 1919.___Dave

[doglegg]

Ann and Berry, you two are cleaning out that NW area on both sides of the border! Interesting, unusual, unique, useful you two are taxing my adjective ability. Congrats to the both of you.

[Berryb]

Thanks guys. Doggleg your adjectives are spot on. Interesting, unusual and unique are what I look for first. I suppose I could save up and buy better knives but it wouldn't be near as much fun. Thanks
Bruce

[bighomer]

Great finds guys and gal, congrats are in order. Doglegg hit the nail on the head.

[zoogirl]

What he said, exactly! If it’s too mint, I’m not interested. If I hold it, look at it, and say ‘ , then I want it!

[WillyCamaro]

What he and she said!!!

Still kicking! Sometimes i just get side tracked by life.

I went to the flea market this morning with a friend of mine. Didn't find much of anything that I wanted to buy but I did get this 8ot for twelve bucks. It's a little ugly, but the blades are full, tight and snappy so I figured why not.

[danno50]

When you can get an American made Old Timer in good condition for $12, I would guess why not!

[bighomer]

Great little old timer in my opinion , I looked at a 34 that wasn't as good as yours and he wouldn't come lower than 15. I found these at the little local flea mkt.

[Iron Hoarder]

IH, That's an interesting letter opener you have there...I wouldn't mind seeing a little more of it.

It's a John Watts with early plastic scales and advertising for an insurance company. It also has their Plati noid stamp on the letter opener. John Watts made a lot of advertisers and all metal knives. The slow death of the company is a rather interesting story.

Thanks for the closer look..I was hoping that shield was metal and maybe it is. I can't tell. I'll have to read up on them when I get some time.

Thanks Dan. It never hurts to have spare 8ot's.

Thanks big H. Looks like you did well. Who is the maker of that bone scout? It's a dandy.

[zoogirl]

Hey BH, who made the grey toothpick? That looks like Richards scales but I haven’t run across a Richards toothpick yet.

[bighomer]

The scout is a L,F&C universal made in usa. Could be a fake Toad sticker is a lmperial usa.

[zoogirl]

Ah. There are alot of Imperials and Colonials that could be Richards American cousins!
