Here are some vintage knife catalog images. If you have some to add, please do so.

Richards & Conover Hardware Co., Kansas City: These 6 plates date to 1914 and are from a salesman catalog. Probably all Ulster made, with one page listed as Ulster knives.

George Wostenholm & Son: This last plate is from a 1969 Seth Birdwell Cutlery pamphlet. The knife prices range from a single blade barlow for $3.00, the etched large stockman with buffalo horn handles at $12.00, and the Officers knife at $20.00

Thanks Beech,

I don't think I'd seen that particular Wostenholm farmers jack in a cut.I like these old cuts that show farmers jack patterns,and I expect others like it when they show the pattern knife they have.It allows verification and dating.

I appreciate the effort.

Here are a few more Ulsters to add to yours Mason, some more sold by Rich Con, with a farmer jack for wlf.

Very nice ad Catt. I like the content referring to the "Edelstahl".

In addition, a couple of Remington ads, one with some bullet knives and a neat electrician knife.

Here is a neat old one page ad from 1907 which features a variety of different makers including an uncommon "S & A" model (Sperry and Alexander) at the bottom of the page.

I enjoy these too,thanks for posting guys..Thanks for thinking of me Beech,you can call me Lyle.I didn't know Ulster was producing this pattern as late as 1942.

You'll notice a pattern in these cuts :) ,except one of a knife I traded.I'm fairly positive the ENDERES is Utica made,I have an ENDERES farmers jack,and it matches my Uticas.

Great ad Mason, all the knives on it are really fine. I'll take one of each. Thanks for sharing it.

Lyle, the T. Turner page is fantastic, I love the style as well as the knives featured. That is a great line up you posted. Also, the Rich Con farmer above is actually from 1914.

MB, I am glad to know this

What's the 1942 in the logo mean? That farmer I believe is an Ulster,just by that shield.

I've got several different versions of this ad, but only this one has that unique description. I wouldn't have guessed that function. :)

Yes, but most could not afford them.

That is actually the page number. I was confused for a moment when first looking through. The date of 1914 comes from a hand written inscription on the first page, November 19, 1914.
