Help with the age of a display..

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.

Hey guys. I just picked up an Old Timer display, and was trying to pin down the age. I'm thinking late 70's early 80's from my research. I just thought y'all might know better. I'll post this in the General forum also..Thanks in advance..

I see a place for a 'Lumberjack' on the display; they appeared in catalogs from 1978 through 1985.
If you go here: http://www.collectors-of-schrades-r.us/ ... /index.htm
many of the catalogs have pictures of their displays toward the bottom of each catalog.
