My Fan Brands
Posted: Sun Apr 28, 2019 8:31 pm
I'm always on the lookout for Fan Brand knives and tang stamp variations, and I thought I would share a few:
1. Barehead jack, arched Schlieper stamp over Fan logo, no shield, no etch
2. Brass commerative knife, arched Schlieper stamp, no shield, no etch
3. Half whittler, Straightline stamp, Solingen shield, 3-'eye' etch with fans instead
4. Medium stockman, Straightline stamp, Solingen shield, 3-'eye' etch with fans instead
5. Medium stockman, Straightline stamp, plain shield, 3-'eye' etch with fans instead
6. Large sodbuster Art Ullis Special, Fan Co. Solingen Germany tang stamp.
#4 really caught my eye because the coping blade has the faint stamp of the Indian Head stamp. I don't think it has been replaced. I tried to get a pic but couldn't.
#5 & #6 are well-used, but I still like them.
Thanks!
Keith
