Ulster pattern & age?

[vikingdog]

Does anyone know the name of the pattern and approximate age of this Ulster? The tang stamp says ULSTER KNIFE CO. NY

Thanks
Mike

Mike, the pattern is what all the local knifers round here call a dog leg jack. A nice one too. Looks like it has some history to it. As far as the tang stamp and age, I'm no help with that. My eyes aint what they used to be, even with my spectacles on. Sorry

Thanks Aimus. I found it at the flea market yesterday and have taken a liking to it.

The stamp was used from 1876-1941 made in Ellenville N.Y.

One of the best looking jacks I have (or one of my favorites anyway) is a Ulster Knife Co. I think the older Ulsters are just as nice as any old New York made knife.

Nice old jack

Thanks for the info rigwelder, I appreciate your help. I wiped it down with some mineral oil and it looks pretty good. It looks like you're no longer in Pennsylvania?

I really like those worn handles..!
That's years of use and pocket life..!

Tusen takk Frode. It looks it was someone's favorite knife by the amount of wear. The blades aren't too bad and still have a strong snap.

My guess, 1920's - 1930's.
