Nice collection of pyremite/celluloid.
I know someone asked if they were all Remington. I realize that is their version of celluloid. If they are all Remington that is quite the collection.
The one I like is the Elephant toenail/Sun fish.

I have added my favorite out of dad’s.
Enjoy Steve LKSKNIVES
Okay please forgive my ignorance, but pyremite & celluloid are the same thing? I haven’t heard of pyremite until last week.
Thanks,
John
Yes, same thing.
Thank you sir

Py Rem ite.

The "Rem" is taken from the name Remington and Pyremite is Remington's name for the celluloid they used on their knives. Pyremite is specific to Remington's knives and word that shouldn't be used to describe celluloids other than those made by Remington.
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.

Very good Ulster, Q. I am partial to pyremite celluloid, that one looks perfect.

That is a fine group of Winchesters, Msteele6. Nice variety of looks.
