Ivory Remingtons

The Remington Corporation and the knives that they built have influenced the U.S. cutlery industry more than nearly any other manufacturer. From the time America was settled, to the end of WWI, American knife companies struggled to compete with Britain and German imports, but events that occurred during and after the First World War led to a great change in this phenomenon. Unprecedented opportunities arose, and Remington stepped up to seize the moment. In the process, they created some of today's most prized collectables. In an ironic twist, the next World War played the greatest role in ending the company’s domination of the industry.

Hey, no worries, my friend...that's the beauty of AAPK: you can ask anything and never have to feel stoopid (unless, of course, you're an unrepentant "hettin' rooskie" or something :wink: )

Thanks, Keith, now it's my turn to feel stupid...I'm not a Remington collector -- these two ivory Barlows are my only Remis, and other than "2008" stamped on the Damascus Razor secondary blade pile side tang (which I assume is the date of manufacture), I don't see any other identifying numbers on either one of them.
