Vintage Tool Kit Knives & Folding Eating Sets

[Iron Hoarder]

I managed to acquire the tool set along with a copy of Rhett Stidmans book and an older advertisement for the tool set as part of the lot. The only flaws are some wear on the box and the crack running from the bolster to the center pin. The set is completely unused and barely fondled.

Here's the rest of the pictures. The price was well within the $400-$600 range.

That Napanoch set is fabulous!! Wayne the Nagle's are really great and to find the pouch and box is almost impossible.

Here is a knife & spoon knife Tommy sent me last month along with a bunch of other awesome old Camillus knives. This is probably my favorite of them all.
Thanks again Tommy!

I bought this tool kit at a garage sale. I can't seem to find this kit anywhere on the Internet. Anyone care to enlighten me on whether it's collectable. Only the knife attachment has markings and it says stainless china.

Hello,I ammichael andiam new to this forum i have aquired a folding set and i need some help identifing it. Any help would be appriecated.the knife that is with it is a merrimac cullery ge germany thank all

[peanut740]

All Goins has on it is ca.1939.He goes on and says Knox-All was stamped on bolsters of small barlow knives and Knox-All was a trademark of E.C.Simmons.Don`t know if they also imported eating sets.

Around about and after WWI, German knife manufacturers, in a effort to neutralize the negative aspects of all things "German", starting marketing knives to America with decidedly American sounding names.

The Merrimack River runs between Massachusetts and New Hampshire.

What could be more New England and American sounding than that?

The set probably dates from that time period.

However, the German makers had been using English and American sounding names prior to that in order to capitalize on the popularity of Sheffield cutlery.

Those clever Huns.

Here are a few more eating sets.

Colonial Sport Pal, Pic-Nic-Kit slot type hobo set

Colonial three piece set in plastic case. Not a slot knife. Each piece has it's own shell type handles.

Rather large Muller and Schmidt (not marked with print, only logo) travel kit in leather case.

Nice ones Wayne!

What is the handle material on the Muller and Schmidt?

[kootenay joe]

thumper your Merrimac set is a good one especially as it has the 'tumbler' (drinking glass that is not glass). Most of these sets of eating utensils do not have a container for drinking from. Your pics are not good so nature of the handle material cannot be guessed at. Some sets have ivory handles but more are imitation ivory.

Nice ones Wayne!

What is the handle material on the Muller and Schmidt?

The handles are some type of plastic not celluloid.

[Miller Bro's]

OK thanks

Here is one that I have that is celluloid, I am just waiting for it to go " poof "

[btrwtr]

Dimitri that Aerial sure looks fine. Hope the celluloid sticks around for another 100 or so. Love the auto motif on the handle. What's on the pile side?

Wayne

[Miller Bro's]

Thanks Wayne I hope it lasts another 100 years too!

I don`t have a picture on file but the other side has a picture of a steam ship on it.

[FRJ]

Some really nice knife kits recently, guys.

Here is my first eating set in this style.
Thanks.

Does anyone know the value of a Robesons Pocket Outfit #50 in very good condition, from about 1930-1950? under the Robeson discussion, there are pictures posted of one of these kits, but that one in at least 20-30 years older than mine-
any insight would be greatly appreciated, with thanks..

Nice kit Nigel! Welcome to AAPK!
I have the same kit in the same leather wallet but the name is A.K.B. The Kit, or something like that. I will have to find it and take some pics. I found mine in a house I rented in the 1970s. I had forgot I even had it.
