These are pages from a late 30s Union Hardware catalog. It took a while to get them figured out. I could not have done it without tremendous help from Jerry Hawkins.
I included the kitchen and butcher sections because I think all the different specialties are interesting.
I left out a lot of things, like carving sets and axes.
There are a lot of pages so I'm going to send them in 4 or 5 posts.

Thanks for sharing those Montemojo, those are great! It would be wonderful to get all the different years of Belknap knives up here.

Thanks LongBlade, those were the knives listed at the end of the Wolstenholm section in the hardware catalog. I think it dates to pre 1909 although I have no exact date to give. Non-XL was Joseph Allen of Sheffield and Hercules was Lamson Goodnow of Shelburn Falls, MA. Sorry I can’t provide more info on the others, I don’t know what Sterling Cut Corp was.

Barry, that is fantastic! That is a nice combination, Winchester, Remington and Ka-Bar! Glad you were able to get that figured out and thanks for doing the time consuming work of putting them up here.

These Stiletto knives were made for Pacific HDWE. & Steel Co. (1901-1918). This catalog dates to sometime in the aughts. The knives could possibly been made by Napanoch.

Some of those early wharncliffe whittlers are making my mouth water ... very cool historical pics - thx for posting.

What I find interesting is many of these historic patterns are long gone, never see them from the big manufacturers like Case ... but I recognize several of the old patterns from what GEC and Queen /S&M currently make - just wish the prices were closer to the ones listed in the catalogs ::dang::

Thanks All!

Rodger, that slot knife does look like an Ulster. Thanks for sharing it and pointing out the connection.
