Classic Knife Ad
Thought this one from 1920 was classic - boys drooling over their favorite pocket knife.

Re: Classic Knife Ad
Great ad ! "Corner Hardware Store". They are rare now, which is a loss.
I was in France in early 1990's and every town had at least one cutlery store. They just sold knives, no other 'stuff' and each was privately owned, not part of a 'chain'. I was like the boys in this ad, looking at all the knives in glass display counters.
If you ever go to France make sure you check out a few of the dedicated cutlery stores

Funny that they are all barefoot!
Re: Classic Knife Ad
I don't know all the details my brother in law has been to one, but once a year they have a massive knife fair, hundreds of tables of merchants selling their knives. He said it is a knife persons nirvana.kootenay joe wrote: ↑Mon Aug 16, 2021 8:12 am Great ad ! "Corner Hardware Store". They are rare now, which is a loss.

Thanks for sharing … somehow, thumbwheeling through an online webpage just isn’t the same is it … no sounds, smells or nearby sights … and certainly no soul.

Re: Classic Knife Ad
There is an independently owned hardware store not too far from me, but they have a poor knife selection (based on what I've seen). Thanks for sharing this great old ad!

The old Sears or Wards catalog had lumberjack leather boots with a leather pouch sewed on the side with a pocket knife in it. I dreamed about getting those boots.

Very cool post!! Reminds me of the good old days!!
Re: Classic Knife Ad
Nice ad. I remember my dad and I would go downtown to the hardware store once and a while.
They had old wooden floors that creaked when you walked over them. They had a nice
tool selection. It had a smell of combined wood, metal shavings and oil. The big box hardware stores are so sterile.

Really cool! Nowadays, that's me at a knife show.
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

Re: Classic Knife Ad
Cool ad! I may just make that part of my knife-related display at work.
Thanks!
Thanks!
Re: Classic Knife Ad
1939 ad - wouldn’t it be cool for a boy to get a knife by collecting cereal box tops today!

Re: Classic Knife Ad
Nice. Would that be an Imperial knife, maybe?
Meanwhile, I have not seen it for awhile but Ralston hot cereal was very nice high quality breakfast fixin's.
I don't know what I have in my 1945 to 1980s collection of American Rifleman magazines but there are probably some interesting old knife ads. Those magazines are available for sale by the way if anyone is interested.

How about getting a knife from collecting bubble gum wrappers?

Re: Classic Knife Ad
E.! Don'tcha remember those blistering hot summer days when you were a kid and you'd get up, pull on jeans and a T-shirt and nothin' else, head out for the day, and when you finally got home the soles of your feet were filthy and like leather?
