Thanks Skip, Dan and Eric. I don't usually buy catalogs that don't have full-sized cuts, but this one seemed to have a lot of knives in it. There are 24 pages with knives on both sides of each page.Here's the catalog. I was a bit disappointed that the seller dated the catalog somewhere between in 1911 and 1934, but this letter explains the time frame. I was unable to find anything on the internet about Jas A. Irwin, so I was glad to get the letter. It seems as though Mr. Brumley led a full and interesting life. https://fortunekeoughfuneralhome.com/bo ... ituary.php

Per the seller, this item is from 1977 and it is the latest piece of pocket knife ephemera to join my collection. It's a hockey cards, wax pack wrapper, pocket knife offer. The offer doesn't mention the pocket knife manufacturer.
