Remington letter

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.

Very nice letter. It is especially unusual to see anything
hand written today and have personal messages. Computer
generated responses (if you even get that ) are just so cold.

That is very cool. I also have a friend he and his dad were Remington Reps. Jimmy Prall. Jim is no spring chicken anymore and I cherish the times I get to visit him. He still holds records from his days, as a Skeet Shooter, from just a youth. You know, I never thought to ask him about Remington Knives. He owns Sports World in Tulsa, OK and sells knives there too. hmmmmm I may need to make a new kind of stop. ::idea::
