I like that one

Agree, it's a pretty one. I am looking for similar for sometimes now.

Another one from AAPK stores. My favourite pattern after the barlow, the equal end jack.
Manufactured in 1974 but it arrived in its factory condition box, in its little plastic cover.
Larger and heavier than I expected.
The box says LIMITED EDITION COLLECTORS ITEM but I got it to use. It has never been used, since 1974.
Would it be selfish for an AAPK member to use a collector's item which was made and kept for posterity?
The quality is superb, manufactured by J.Wiss & Sons Co., Newark, N.J.

I don't know if they still own Tree Brand, but they sound like a good old USA family cutlery business.
Prairie Schooner- the perfect name for the old wagon and best symbol of pioneering America.

KEWL Knife that ^ !!!

so i had been looking for a buffer not big im not making knives just lightly cleaning mine didnt want to spend lotta money so here is what i have found i think it will work just fine and cheap a old shoe buffer think it has the rite speed and every thing for doing this work hope it wil help someone was the find of the day for me goodwill price 4.36 hope this mite help someone

You're right, cato. It's a shoe buffer. I went to work for NCR in 1966 and we had one, a bit more on the commercial grade side, back in the service department to help us stay looking good for the customers. Black side for black shoes, red side for brown and lighter color shoes. Let us know how it works out for your knives. Looks to me like it should do the trick.

Here is todays finds

Crandall Cutlery Co. Bradford Pa. 1903 - 1912
Case 10 dot Bone stockman

I love the scales on that Crandall, gino.

This is the other one I found today. It deserved it's own post.
A WWI Schatt & Morgan. Supposedly made for the Canadian troops. Its really nice aside from some pitting and the fact the antiques dealer buffed it. I told him not to ever do that again. I don't care what it looks like. The scales are perfect and it appears hardly used.

Wow! That is sweet! I dig it! Great score as well as all the others.

Suhweeeeeeeeeeeeeet knife IH!!

NICE one you have IH

Very nice! I really like that Case Cheetah

Sweet finds CM

Nice score caddyman.. That 47 is way cool!! John

That is way cool, Joe. Good find.

For the same reason, I'm patiently looking for an Estwing that's stamped Rockford, ILL. One that's in good condition and one I can afford.
