Hey Tim, nice finds! They all look worthy of bein' loved on! The Coke Bottle hunter, Ulster swell center and little tuxedo pen are real cool!! One in particular I just have to ask about though, is that little cracked ice on the right an Imperial (or Hammer Brand) sleeveboard pen?

WB

These 3 are the best of the 5 I managed to pick up over the weekend! The first pic is a Western Hunter folding thin clasp. It has the tang stamp dating it from 1911-1950. Very difficult to make out, but with a good loupe, you can see it. The top of the handle, where it meets the bolster, on the pile side of the knife, had at some time come loose, it was packed with pocket crud. I very delicately cleaned picked out as much as possible, then took it to the shop and used PB, a penetrating catalyst, and let it soak for the aftrnoon. After mowing the lawn, I fired up my compressor, held the knife in a shop towel, and put short blasts of air to it. Boy, the crap that came out of the knife was unreal. I clean up the mess, made sure the knife was clean of the penetrating oil, worked super glue detween the liner and handle. I have a nice small pair of Starrett clamps, and this morning it was holding firm! Great strong snap, just an all around good knife in pretty good shape. The second pic show's onn top, a jack made by Best Ever Cutlery, New York. I've turned every stone over I know of but can't find any info on that maker. But the knife shows a little wear, half stops are great, and snaps open and shut REAL well. The knife below that is a Remington R33 Jack. I couldn't ask for a better condition knife. I like it, a lot!! Bull ( The other 2 I got as well, are a H. S.B. & Co., Black diamond, and a Camillus. They are currently being worked on. Both are good user's but a little rough around the edges.)

[basser5]

EDIT: WB, the sleeveboard is Stag over England
