Old and Obscure Brands
Re: Old and Obscure Brands
2 gorgeous pieces there Roger .
Do you know when Sears used this Company ? They had a Sears and Roebuck & co. Stamp in 1902 and a Wilbert stamp in 1908 , IIRC . Would these be after that sometime ? And do you know what the TTC stamp stands for and a time period it was used ? Trying to figure the Early years of Sears and there use of tang stamps ,any help is appreciated !
Thanks for the pics and info .

Levines Ed 4th TTC Diamond Brand NY 1909. Also listed in Sears 1905-1910 The Best of Sears Collectibles. I could not find what TTC is. This Sears book is from Arno Press A NewYork Times Company 1976. I found my book in a junk store a back. Maybe a little help. Harold

Pretty cool.
I've seen a lot of Shumate straight razors, but never a pocket knife.

Couple of amazing knives Roger. Never heard or seen TTC before. Did you ask for Wyeth Wannadotoo? Here is some of mine. Been chasing them for a few years now.
