Sorry you don't have it any more... ... but not so sorry that it's in MY pocket now!!!

Wel, ... I found this one and it has a Short-line tang stamp on the blade... but... is this knife from the 50's?

MC-1 knife was produced from 1958-59 to 2006. So congratulations! You got the earliest version.

Thanks Dan and Skip It is always a good day when you find a new "Short-Line"

Sure is!

Well finally got a little “ G dog “ luck . Grabbed up this little 91 from the bay and the # 10 from a members store . The Tip Top Barlow is a big addition to the private collection. They’re getting harder to find especially so in the short line stamp. Got them oiled up and will find them a spot in the short line tray. The 91 looks to have 2 mains with both having the short line on the main side and 91 on the pile . Can’t find this one in the catalogs! The shield and handle don’t kook Camillus to me but the knife doesn’t appear tampered with .
Take care out there .

The 91 is a real beauty. Congratulations on those nice acquisitions, JP!

I love that Tip-Top Barlow! I replaced the blades in one that was an old 4-line, and it stays in my EDC rotation more than any other knife I own. Yours is nicer since it is original!

Knice ones JP

Thanks Dan,Skip, Rev andDoglegg for the comments.
Here’s one to ponder . This Serrated #1 was on the bay ,threw 20 bucks at it out of curiosity and it ended up here . The hawk bill ( pruner ) #1 and the Serrated #1 are same size everything . Different pins and covers . Did someone modify the one from a regular hawk bill ? It looks like the kick is ground way down but the serrated edge looks machined ? If this was done after it left the factory they did a decent job on it .
What say you fellas ? Could use some help on this one.
Thanks much .

The nail nick looks to be larger, farther forward, and at a different angle than the one on the hawkbill. It just may be a factory job, but I can't be at all certain. Will be interested to hear what the experts have to say. And have you posted that invoice in the ephemera forum? That would be great to see!

IMHO yes.

I finally got around at looking thru the other box of knives that I won at the estate auction I won two weeks ago I believe. Besides the 4 Russell Barlows, Had a Queen Winterbottom Imitation Toothpick,on the mark side the handle has to be replaced, also found this little short-line # 17

Not bad she's a keeper

It's just wow! A very rare knife. Late 1946 - early 1947.
I didn't even know such a version existed.

Theo, Excellent short line #17 . As Vit has mentioned they’re hard to find and some don’t know they are around .
Vit my Friend, here’s a nice bone covered #17 . Thought it is posted somewhere here in the short line area but maybe not .
Take care fellas

Beautiful 17s, Theo and JP!
