Knives & Boxes

[espn77]

Thanks guys. I like boxes.

Here is one a little different. Remington letter opener/knife box.

Took some pictures this morning.

I've had this one a long time. Love the etch and ink!!

[galvanic1882]

This Catt box is a hard to find one. Love the double etch on the knife.

Great boxes with great knives Mike

Beauties both. I really dig that Catt. I guess the EO cut out eliminates the need for a nail pull? That's pretty cool.

(Fair warning: If you guys keep this up it may cause me to seriously consider changing my collecting focus!)

Mike - 3 spectacular boxes and knives above ... The Walden and Catt are awesome!!

Keith - Very cool letter opener and accompanying box ...

Very nice letter opener and box, Keith!
Two more beauties, Mike! Especially the Walden!

Mike, a couple of questions about the Walden knife. What does the tang stamp read? I can't make it out. Also, were Barney and Berry a hardware company who was reselling Walden knives?

[galvanic1882]

Dan it’s marked Walden Knife Co, I think Barney & Berry sold Walden knives. They had ties to Winchester too!

[danno50]

Thanks Mike. It just appeared to me that there were three fairly full lines in the tang stamp.

[galvanic1882]

Yes Walden NY

[danno50]

Thanks, I probably should have been able to figure that out myself.

Here's a couple more. This is the earliest Cattaraugus box that I have seen. Very similar to my JBF Champlin box. The carved pearl knife does not have Little Valley NY marked on it. One of the older ones. I think it is a older knife pouch also, the knife came in the pouch.

The pearl Electric is marked on both sides of all 4 blades, box is another one I found.

Mike, very cool button on the pouch

[danno50]

Two more great knives and boxes! Very neat shaped clip blade on the Electric.

Sweet Mike - that carved MOP knife is stunning ...

Finally got some energy so took some photos of this H&B knives and box combo. I included a few of my different H&B pens as the box seemed to be about that size when placing in the knives based on their length and width (seemed small for my H&B Jacks).. I have other H&B knives but couldn't include them all ... Note the box is considered a button display box - the lid would reverse itself and knives were displayed for sale. I get a kick out of the H&B on button. I also found the label interesting (though not illustrative like others) but check out the warranty for any defective knives to be replaced/repaired but the warranty implicitly stated it would not include those knives worn out or damaged by hard use ... Guess even prior to 1912 (the year H&B became part of LF&C) folks were trying to pull fast ones to replace their knives ....

Great stuff guys keep them coming!!

[Quick Steel]

Thank you Lee.

Here are 2 more, the Utica is 3" closed and a beefy little guy. The Electric Gunstock I bought on ebay when it first started picked up the box years later.

Very nice,all.

Speaking of knife boxes, has anyone here ever seen a Terrier Cutlery Co box?

I’d be willing to pay up for such.
