Mystery Knife Game

[danno50]

Only one guess so far, and that a couple of days ago. I will bump this up again by throwing out this one:

LF&C

[Colonel26]

Holley?

[Ridgegrass]

Neither. (But I wish it were either!) J.O.

[glennbad]

Ulster

[edge213]

Cattaraugus

[Ridgegrass]

Not Ulster, wish it were a Catt. It is a New York manufacturer. J.O

[danno50]

Utica

[Ridgegrass]

Sorry, not Utica

[danno50]

Camillus

[Ridgegrass]

Not Camillus. The scales are gutta percha or slick black. J.O'.

[peanut740]

Platts

[Ridgegrass]

Sorry Fellers, none of those. Hint: Made in NYC, gone by the nineteen twenties. J.O'.

[peanut740]

Sorry Fellers, none of those. Hint: Made in NYC, gone by the nineteen twenties. J.O'.

Don't know of any manufacturers from New York city.

Sorry Fellers, none of those. Hint: Made in NYC, gone by the nineteen twenties. J.O'.

The only one I can think of is Kent NYC which was the Woolworths store brand made by Camillus....and not actually made in NYC despite the tang stamp, lol. That knife looks a little too fancy to be a Kent. I'm stumped.

[Ridgegrass]

Tang Stamp is New York, NY. Company was an importer but switched to US manufacture in WWI. Can't say definitively who made them. J.O'.

Curley & Brother New York

[Ridgegrass]

No Danno. Looks like this one's gonna be tough. Not trying to "stump the band". Just pulled it off the shelf. Thanks. J.O'.

[danno50]

J.O', I think you might need to cough up another clue or two.

Crown Cutlery Co

[Ridgegrass]

There it is!! How'd you figure it out? J.O'.

[danno50]

I went through the pocket knife brand list in LGIV, a few times. He lists two Crown Cutlerys, but I initially discounted them, as they were listed as import/wholesale and wholesale. About the third time through I noticed a note for the second listing that said they were manufactured in the US during WW1. I will get a knife up as soon as there is enough daylight to take a picture.

[danno50]

Here is one I already had pics of.

[Ridgegrass]

That took some research! Good job. I've done that Levine scan. It'll cross your eyes.
Is your knife American made? J.O'.

[danno50]

It is.
