Orange Cutlery Company

[New_Windsor_NY]

I FOUND AND OBTAINED ANOTHER ONE.....
This morning, my trip to the post office produced this lobster or gentlemans', pattern or style of pocket knife. It now becomes my SECOND example to be posted under this topic or thread. It also became the SECOND example to be added to my general, pocket knife accumulation. It is an ORANGE CUTLERY COMPANY, one blade, one tool (a file with a blade tip), two tang stamps, 2 3/16" closed (not including the bail), lobster or gentlemans', pattern or style of pocket knife. The main blade front tang stamp says, "ORANGE (over) CUT. CO. (over) WALDEN, N.Y." The tool front tang stamp also says, "ORANGE (over) CUT. CO. (over) WALDEN, N.Y." The main handle side has an applied "FLT" (Odd Fellows) symbol, logo or emblem. "FLT" means Friendship, Love and Truth. At one time, there MAY HAVE been another applied symbol, logo or emblem (I.O.O.F.?). It looks like it was by the bail, on the main handle side. The main blade does have a WEAK half stop. The main blade does NOT have an opening snap. The main blade does NOT have a closing snap. The tool also has a WEAK half stop. The tool does have an OK opening snap. The tool does have an OK closing snap. My other ORANGE CUTLERY COMPANY pocket knife was posted, under this topic or thread, back on Tuesday, April 9, 2024. Overall, this pocket knife is in GOOD condition. This pocket knife did require some minor cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.

AAPK member lt632ret, wrote a short article regarding ORANGE CUTLERY COMPANY and included pictures of
three tang stamps and four different ORANGE CUTLERY COMPANY pocket knives. The article and the pictures
can be found in his book, "Knives of the Hudson Valley - 160 Years of American Cutlery History"
The whole book is a VERY INTERESTING and VERY INFORMATIVE read.

I FOUND AND OBTAINED ANOTHER ONE.....
This morning, my visit to the post office produced this lobster or gentlemans', pattern or style of pocket knife. It now becomes my latest example to be posted under this topic or thread. It also became the most recent example to be added to my general, pocket knife accumulation. It is an ORANGE CUTLERY COMPANY, one blade, one tool (a file with a blade tip), two tang stamps, 3" closed, lobster or gentlemans', pattern or style of pocket knife. The main blade front tang stamp says, "ORANGE (over) CUT. CO. (over) WALDEN, N.Y." The tool back tang stamp also says, "ORANGE (over) CUT. CO. (over) WALDEN, N.Y." The main handle side has a MASONIC symbol, logo, or emblem, with "Jr. O. U. A. M." (Junior Order of United American Mechanics). This is my third, ORANGE CUTLERY COMPANY pocket knife. My other two ORANGE CUTLERY COMPANY pocket knives were both previously posted, under this topic or thread. The main blade does NOT have a half stop. The main blade does have a GOOD opening snap. The main blade does have a GOOD closing snap. The tool does NOT have a half stop. The tool does NOT have an opening snap. The tool does have an OK closing snap. This pocket knife is in GOOD condition. This pocket knife did NOT need any cleaning at all. I just wiped it off. I took some pictures and here it is.
