Lobsters & Orange Blossoms

[danno50]

Great batch of beautiful Remingtons, espn77!

[FRJ]

Nice one, Dan, with etch front and back.

Very knice espn77 & Dan!!!

Here's one I just received in the mail yesterday...
a Schrade Walden №865 Sunfish Lobster which I narrowed down to between 1948−58. I including the 1954 catalog cut.


Does anyone know what "Sunfish" refers to? Is it because of the "etched" mark side cover of the handle?

Very nice KAW!! Excellent pick up!!

Just got this EKA lobster in a knife lot. It is in excellent shape. Still has factory grind on all blades. MOP is perfect both sides.

I know Keith posted a beauty of a Remington Orange Blossom but thought I would share mine now that I took some photos - finally after 3 years... The good news is I realized I have a few other Remingtons from long ago that need photos

R6454 and tang stamp was 1933-35 date range according to chart.. solid snap and tight with some staining of blades that were next to liner.. used but not really sharpened..

Lee, nice one by a great maker

[FRJ]

A beautiful old knife, Lee. Good show!

[danno50]

Very nice knife, Lee!

[LongBlade]

Thanks Lloyd, Joe and Dan ....

Here is a HSB & Co. OVB modified sleeveboard tip bolster 3 inch Lobster. Hardly looks ever used or sharpened post production. Beautiful somewhat irregular spoon gouged chocolate brown bone handles. I am guessing this one was made by NYKC. I have several NYKC examples that have this same sort of jigging pattern.

Lloyd - That HSB is a stunner - Awesome bone and great condition all around including blades - Nice!!

[FRJ]

A beauty of a knife, Lloyd. In such good condition.

I realized I haven't posted any knives in this thread.

Here's a very early Remington Orange Blossom.

[FRJ]

Here is a Robeson Orange Blossom.

[FRJ]

Here is a Eskilstuna lobster.

[FRJ]

Here's a little Case lobster.

[woodwalker]

Wow Joe!! All your knives are so fine!! And your pictures are one of a kind!! I don't think anyone does it better! Truly fabulous to look at!! Thank you!

[LongBlade]

Joe - Those are all real beauties - nice group of knives ... Remington engraving in MOP is cool... The lobster from Eskilstuna is nice and to my eye a unique pattern as a Swedish knife, but I’m far being knowledgeable on those knives - I wonder if that is the makers initials within the Eskilstuna stamp?? ..

[FRJ]

You are welcome woodwalker. I really appreciate your nice comments. Thank you.

Thanks, Lee.
The Eskilstuna is a unique pattern with that cut out for the file. I have wondered about that stamp too but never researched it.
Thanks for the response.

[espn77]

Interesting, almost all the knives in this thread are pearls. Here are a couple I think fit.

[FRJ]

WOW!
Those are cool, Keith.

[KAW]

Keith... The all metal knives usually don't appeal to me... but these are pretty nice...
Joe... you have a really cool collection of lobsters... It's becoming one of my favorite patterns & as I add to my collection, I'm also discovering the most popular scales used on the pattern is the MoP. In fact, in a local antique shop, a little while ago, I found this nearly mint (appears unused) Schrade Cut. Co. So it's time to bump up this thread.
