Senators and Gents!! Mutually exclusive??

[upnorth]

How about a thread for Senators and Pens, and Gent's knives in general?? I'll go first. This came out of a salesman's roll, maybe from the 1920s-1930s?? It is nicely made ; I suspect it is hard to fit stag to smaller knives. This one is right on 3 1/8".


Scratches are on my scanner!

Senators today are jimping the people!

Your grandkids got a hold of a pen, Fran! You better make 'em scrub off that ink!!
Otherwise, nice knife!!

[Sauconian]

Thanks Charlie. It came right off with some Flitz.

Thanks Charlie. It came right off with some Flitz.

Flitz for Knife Zits!! Don't get caught without it!!

Fran, now if you'll just add a nice brush finish you'll be all set (sorry, I just couldn't resist, I'm kidding OK, just kidding! )

Seriously, beautiful sample!! And Charlie, the stag is incredible, as is that 7099 Keith!

Here are a few gents:

The entire exchange was hilarious if you know the background story behind it.
(But I won't even begin to try and explain it).

Yes,to any knife collecting newcomers, if you come across an old knife with numbers written on the blades, DON'T rub 'em off! They're model numbers purposely put on with an etching pen for salesman samples.

Here's another gent:

[upnorth]

The blade markings we are joking about can be worth as much as the knife itself. Preserve them!
