I have a Ward's marked equal-end that I bought years ago for Sarah, as she collects Coca Cola stuff.
The knife has a "Coca-Cola" oval shield.
I'm afraid the knife is not genuine, so I'll refrain from posting a pic.


What makes you think it is fake?

I would like to see a picture of it

MB; the knife is posted on page five. You never expressed an opinion.

Scans are not very good. The bone is much darker than they suggest.

Sorry Charlie, never followed up on your post.

My opinion is that it's a fantasy knife made up from old Utica parts, you can still find a lot of them for sale even today. All in like new condition.

Pretty much as I had thought, which was why I did not post photos in 2015.

Think of it this way, by posting pictures someone researching one of these knives might find this thread and learn the truth about what they are about to buy.

[OLDE CUTLER]

This Wilbert Moose was sold in the Sears Roebuck catalog in 1908 for 74 cents plus 5 cents shipping.

[Miller Bro's]

What a deal!

Here is a knife/axe combo. Made by Western, sold by Montgomery Ward under the Western Field name.

One of two Craftsman knives I have I picked up this one while stationed in Germany in the 70's. Ordered it from the Sears Cataloge. I also have a medium Stockman I need to take a picture of.

You take good care of your stuff

Wards/Made In USA. About 3 1/2" closed. Very strong snap.

I have one to add... a neat little tuxedo... or perhaps more appropriately... a ladies' knife...
as already mentioned... Lakeside is a Wards' brand (c.1920's):
