Identify Old Schrade Cut Co

Schrade Cutlery Company was founded in 1904 by George Schrade, and his brothers Jacob and William Schrade. In 1946 Imperial Knife Associated Companies, (IKAC; an association of Ulster Knife Co and Imperial Knife Co) purchased controlling interest in Schrade Cut Co and changed the name to Schrade Walden Cutlery. In 1973 the name was changed to Schrade Cutlery. In 2004 Schrade closed due to bankruptcy.

This forum is dedicated to the knives that are the legacy of this company. This forum is not the place to discuss the replica knives currently being imported using the Schrade name.

That's model number 2019BR, based on their standard large EO jack, but with a brass handle (BR). Yours has seen some use, but it does have an older tang stamp which usually ups the value a bit. I'd really hate to venture a guess as to value since I'm not an expert, based on the condition alone I'd say around $45, but that stamp might add more depending on how much a collector wants it. How much more I really couldn't say. If you wanted to sell it I'd say put it on Ebay, mention that it has the older arched stamp, and let the market decide its value. You never know ::tu::

I've included a scan of mine with the catalog shot of that model on the lower left of the image, you should be able to click on it to enlarge. Mine's got the straight stamp, but everything else should be identical. BTW the arched stamp dates to sometime before 1915 or so, the catalog is from 1926.
