Here is my lovely Ulster Old Timer Barlow which I found in a pawn shop in Gravette AR a few months ago.
This won't be an EDC due to the slightly wobbly blades, but still, it's a lovely old knife.

Good looking Barlow Mark. I like those older Ulster and Camillus Barlows.

I picked this one up today. New in the box, one of the new Colonel Coon Barlows. Not sure who is making Colonel Coons now. This one makes me think of a Bear & Son somewhat. But it does have great snap, and decent fit and finish. Thought it would make a nice addition to my Barlow Box.

That walnut handle is beautiful...reminds me of cocobolo with that color streaking.
Far as I could research, it seems that's a USA made knife...heckuva nice knife and a good value..!!!

I received this piece of Queen Ephemera today. It is the Box with Display for the Queen Steel #22 Barlow. This one is like knew with just a couple of slight creases in the back board, no major rubs and the die-cut straps to hold the knife for display have never been punched out. Here are some photos. I also included one with my 22 Barlow, but I didn't place it in the straps.

The bolsters on the Southington are really cool.

Both great old pieces !
There’s something about the older sawcut bones on Barlows like yours , really wear well and believe they look better as time goes by with decent use .
Appreciate your sharing your pics

[ObsidianEdge]

Thanks JP, David and Smitty. I agree about the sawcut bone and Southington stamp. There is more yellow paint on the other side of the NYK Co. knife but I haven't messed with it.

Anyone know the meaning of " 90 Days" on this Imperial Mark Twain Barlow. Not my knife but a couple on Ebay right now.

I would assume it is a safety awards knife, given if you made it 90 days without an accident.
