Montgomery Wards
Some old WARDS.1) 4" Stockman w/punch, main blade reverse tang pattern stamped "431" 2) 3-5/8" Cattle, reverse of spay tang stamped, "V"
3)3-1=7/8" Trapper, nice tight caramel celluloid 4) 3-15/16" Stockman
5) 3-1/4" Equal end pen, yellow mother-of pearl celluloid, reverse tang pattern stamped, "189".
Levine says they're made by Utica and maybe Winchester. The #1Stockman looks like it could be a Winchester. #4 looks like a Utica.
Ward's has been gone a long time. Baltimore had a five story warehouse store that had everything from outboard motors to bib overalls. Great place to go as a kid.

Re: Montgomery Wards
Nice Wards knives. I have a Knife/Axe set with the Western Field tang stamp. It was made by Western, but Western Field was a brand sold exclusively by Montgomery Wards. I will try to find my pictures.

Re: Montgomery Wards
Here is the Western Field Knife and Axe (hatchet) combo. As previously mentioned, this set was made by Western for Montgomery Wards under the Western Field name.
