Sears knives 1900-1960s
Sears knives 1900-1960s
I've been looking at a lot of knife catalogs recently and noticed that the Sears catalogs had quite a variety of knives shown, especially prior to WW2. Is there common info out there that says which companies made the knives shown in Sears catalogs over various years. Especially from around 1900 up through the 1960s?

I know Camillus, Schrade Walden and Ulster re-branded for Craftsman. How far back those went I do not know. But certainly from the 40- 50s forward. I have a mint in tube Ulster made Craftsman electricians knife with the belt clip included that is from the mid 60s and beautifully made!

W.R. Case and Son, Napanoch (through W.R. Case), and Challenge were among the very early suppliers.

Were Montgomery Wards knives from the same timeframe likely made by the same manufacturers also?

Roughly the same time frame,mostly different makers.
Neil Punchard hard an article in Knife Magazine not too long ago about Sears knives and their makers.

Sears Craftsman knives are something I look out for at flea markets and the like, but have never seen any. Hope to add more in the future.
