Picked these four up today from another antique store. :D

Top left is a Frontier 3-blade 4131, and on the top right a 2-blade Colonial.

The bottom two both have some damage, and I know little about them- But the price was right. I shy away from damaged knives, but these ones just spoke to me. Lower left is an unknown bone scaled camp-style 4-blade knife. It is marked 'high carbon steel' on the main blade, and 'spiral punch' on the punch/reamer. I have no idea of the maker.

The bottom right is marked G.R.C. Co Chicago on all of the three blades. It is some sort of celluloid advertising scales that are in terrible condition. Again, I know nothing of GRC Co. of Chicago.

Enjoy!

John

Yankee John, Those 2 on the bottom really speak to me! Recently I have acquired several old knives that have issues, but the fact they are old and can be cleaned up and sharpened, makes them a pleasure to slip in your pocket from time to time. I still enjoy new, good quality knives, but these old, used ones keep calling my name! Maybe someone will know about the G.R.C. I posted an old W.R.B. a few weeks back and was given an answer or two about it.

Ken, Looks like you did well last Saturday! When I bring home that many 2/3 of them are usually junkers, all yours seem to be in good shape ::tu:: .

I picked these up at an antique store that I had never been to before.

The top (2) on the left are: A Hammer Brand USA two blade with cracked ice scales, in really nice shape- Got it for $3. The large Roy Rogers barlow is in perfect shape, dated 1999 and marked Novelty Knife Co. USA - I got that for $4.

The rest of the knives were in a lot for $20. A used but not abused Imperial Kamp King, and below it an M.Klein & Sons Chicago electricians knife with maroon handle.

On the top right side is a E.C. Simmons Keen Kutter with bone scales, missing the bale and the tip of the reamer/awl is broken off. Beautiful scales on this one!

Below that is a A.W. Wadsworth & Son Germany pen knife. Sadly the main blade is broken off and the knife appears to have been run over or squished.

Next is a Sabre pen knife missing a bolster, and lastly another electricians knife, a black handled Kutmaster Utica NY USA with a chip out of the middle of the main blade.

All in all, I don't think I did too bad for $27 for all of these!

Enjoy!

John
