Knives & Boxes
Re: Knives & Boxes
Mike, those are wonderful shots of knives on boxes, great finds!
It's very interesting to see how similar the Central City Knife box is to the old JBF Champlin box!
I suppose those old box makers included art work to get the order.

Re: Knives & Boxes
That’s quite a knife Mike. The condition and the box puts it in a league of its own. Thanks for sharing it.
Re: Knives & Boxes
Thanks Mike!
You have some significant boxes in your collection!

Re: Knives & Boxes
A wonderful thread with some stunning knives with boxes.
This is a Waterville box top that's been hanging on my wall for a few years with an ebony Jack Knife.

Nice rare box Mike ... and like you said the knives are even more rare than the box ...galvanic1882 wrote: ↑Mon Oct 28, 2019 5:34 pm I’m going to cheat on this one. I have the box but not the knife Would love to find one. Cornwall Knifeworks Conn

Re: Knives & Boxes
How about some Case pumpkin boxes, just in time for Halloween. Right to left, bottom to top- 3318 HP, 6275, Muskrat, 2138 SS, Moon Stone (???), R 503 SSP fixed blade, M 283-8 fixed blade, 5347 SH SP SSP Scroll, 6244 and 1977 Blue Scroll Set. I got most of those from the man who wrote the book on Case knives, literally! The pearl Copperhead came in that box, not sure if it's a match.
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

Re: Knives & Boxes
Rare box, Mike! Looks in pretty good condition for a 100+ year old box.
I like that BSA kit, Jackknifeben!
Redrider, to echo Ike's comment, "what a pumpkin patch"!

Re: Knives & Boxes
Thank you, Sir. Steve gets most of the credit for finding these, I had the Blue Scroll and 6244 boxes previously.

Re: Knives & Boxes
I don't have very many old knives with boxes but I did pick up this IXL from the recent Bruce Voyles auction. It's in the "Sheffield Knives Exhibition" book. Lots of great knives in the auction. This one is 2 inches closed.

Re: Knives & Boxes
Thanks Lee and Mike. There are some teeny swedges on the blades. Someone had good eyesight and steady hands back in the day.
