H-T-T knives

The Remington Corporation and the knives that they built have influenced the U.S. cutlery industry more than nearly any other manufacturer. From the time America was settled, to the end of WWI, American knife companies struggled to compete with Britain and German imports, but events that occurred during and after the First World War led to a great change in this phenomenon. Unprecedented opportunities arose, and Remington stepped up to seize the moment. In the process, they created some of today's most prized collectables. In an ironic twist, the next World War played the greatest role in ending the company’s domination of the industry.

H-T-T knives

Post by espn77 »

I've acquired a few of these and I find them interesting. I'd like to find the ads for them to display with the knives but haven't had any luck finding any of them. I know some guys here have some. Would love for you to share your ads and your knives.

Nice advertising pages and knives being shown, Keith, I believe I have doubled the number of H-T-T R293 trapper examples and HTT Bulldog examples I have seen after reading this thread. :)

My camera angles don't quite match up to the HTT magazine pictures so the blades might look like are sized and shaped differently. I superimposed examples of the real knives along with the advertising pages and advertising pictures. The advertising pictures do not show the 3 lines on the top bolster of the Bullet knife R293B. In my experience it is unusual for the large banana trapper bullet patterns (R293B, R1253, R1263, R1273) for the top bolster to be unlined. The R293B Keith showed earlier is unlined.

I have never seen that add! Thanks for posting. The No. 373 in the add is like the model R373 in the books. I did the add knife have an HTT logo?

Really cool, thanks for sharing! There must have been a ton of new Muskrats floating around at that time.

I don't think the R4466 was a premium knife. I thought the add would be welcome.
