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.

Wow! There is some nice stuff here, how 'bout showing off that "great bone" on that Catt Sunfish with a couple more pics? Going back a few days, I really like those old Remingtons as well, but, I like 'em all!

Thanks Lee, it's only the 3rd one I've ever seen and one is not for sale. Our friend Artie has it!! I had stupid money on it.

BTW, Barry called the Marlboro show EPIC!

I'll try to get the sunfish out for more pictures. It has a hardware company etch on the main blade but it's hard to photograph.

Art has it - not surprised as he had a big collection of cutlery boxes at one time but than again he has a big collection of everything :lol: ...

Marlboro was indeed epic - one of those shows with many knives of interest and think everyone went home happy 8) ... I’ll post a few when I am able to get photos loaded...

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.

That’s quite a knife Mike. The condition and the box puts it in a league of its own. Thanks for sharing it.

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.
