Well then it must be these new glasses, because without them I am as blind as a BAT!

I know that feeling....

I just got through looking at it again and the MAde in Germany was partially ground off. You can sort of see it in the photo, but under a 30X loupe it shows even more so.

Just looked up iros keen and found this.

IROS KEEN ( New York) 1924/1925,very rare stamp a trademark used by I.Rosenbaum for one year

Also found a old Voyle's auction with one listed and the Iros Keen etching on the blade looks similar to my tang stamp, but the Iros Keen tang stamp on that one is different.

Wullie , I made a run at that one too! Nice knife! Congrats. Mark

Nice find Willie!

What make is the 2nd from top right ? Thats the one I remember having as a kid, the Cub Scout model with the wolf badge and the brass locking tabs. Bought it at Sears in the 60's when they had all the scout supplies, I actually whittled my pinewood derby car with that thing, took me a week !!

You should be able to find a nice Camillus Cub Scout knife on ebay within a few days of beginning a search. There are a steady stream of them sold there.

That is an interesting one.

I'd think that a seller wanting that kind of jack for a knife would include some tang stamp pictures.

Here is a set every young Boy Scout would like to receive as a gift for Christmas!


Never used

NICE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Indeed

Here are a few I have added to my troop recently. All but the Cattaragus are non official scout knives. The Catt bears the Boy Scout emblem on its sheild.

Here is one I carried it for a bit !

This dealer is sold out already or so they say. I really don't think they ever had them. Josh Basham from Red Hill sent me a note that they will have them by the end of August.

I found the 2010 Remington RS4233 Boy scout replica on sale at the site below. It looks like a fair price if your interested.

All kinds of BSA 100th Anniversary knives coming out! Personally, I can't wait to get my hands on these.... Somebody please shoot me a message if you find them anywhere:

"WR Case & Sons Cutlery to Introduce Pearl Boned Handle and Molasses Bone Handle BSA® 100th Anniversary Pocketknife Sets In honor of the 100th Anniversary of the Boy Scouts of America, WR Case has designed two pocket knives, one pearl boned and one brown boned each with the BSA® 100th Anniversary logo on the blade and with the Case medallion embedded in the handle. Each collectible pocketknife is displayed in a specially marked BSA® 100th Anniversary wooden box. Stay tuned for more information!"

I sent a message to Case asking when the BSA knives would be released and recieved the following response form Jon Bradish, Consumer Relations Associate / Case Collectors Club, W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery Company.

"They should be released towards the end of the summer. I would contact any of our Exclusive Master Authorized Dealers, as they are the ones who carry our entire product line."

Here's a pic of the W.R. Case Golden Rod Bone Grand Daddy Barlow. It's not a great pic as I had to pull it from a newsletter I get from BSA Licensing [[email protected]].

My latest junk shop find.............

It was priced at $22.50

We don't have junk shops any more, they're all antique shops now, but still full of junk. I remember when I was a kid they called them second hand stores. My how time does fly.

Kind of high for a rusty old scout knife.

I found that Jordan in a sewing shop for ten bucks.

Hard to find a compass for these
