Charlie, I have a friend that has been trying to buy a collection with one in it for years but the guy won’t sell any of the boxes. All I know is that my friend said he lives in Virginia ::facepalm:: !

Couple more, Phoenix Knife Co and a Cattaragus marked Flylock, the tang stamp on the knife is missing the first letter "U" in the stamping. I have a larger Flylock marked the same way.

Super nice Mike ::tu:: ::tu:: ...

So I’m curious but I have a Flylock Bridgeport switch (actually looks to have the same handles).. I know Schrade was involved in Bridgeport but what was the connection of Flylock to Cattaraugus?? Contract work?

Thanks Lee yes I believe it was contract work. Never seen another auto marked Cattaraugus.

Here's a few Keen Kutter display boxes that I have. The tops flip up to store the knives for sale that are being displayed, there's penciled in sales notes added for the salesman. There's also a Keen Kutter button on the black display box that I found along the way.

Couple more, the Button box has 2 English jacks, one is a Robeson Salesman's knife and the other a Terrier.

The other is a Carrier Cutlery Eureka, the Eureka was one of the knives that was used to make the GEC Eureka's. Boy did GEC make a bunch of knives from that first pattern.

Couple more. Utica Cutlery Pocket Pard knife in it's original box. They were made in the 1920's to go along with the Parker Pens of the same era. I have another with blue celluloid also in the box. I keep searching for these in the other colors made, green and orange. Etched on one side POCKET PARD and the other STAINLESS, hardware is 14k filled.

The NYK congress is on top of a NYK Co box, never seen another one like it, the little paper sleeve was in the box when I got it.

Here are a couple more.

Central City Phoenix NY is a hard one to find and the Cattaraugus sunfish has some great bone. The box is a wooden box and another hard item to find.
