Thanks. I was surprised when I saw on some of the older threads in this forum that it is possibly from 1961 because it is so clean. I inherited the knife, so I don't know much about it other than what I read.A beautiful knife in tremendous condition!
Tom, glad you put that value up, wasn't sure if it would be OK to post it so I threw the old email addy up with hopes of Stuart contacting me regarding that. Hate to see a guy get fleeced by lurking predators so to speak. Here's mine, sold off two others to get it but I figured one's all I need and if I'm going to have one this is it lol. This is just how they were marketed, only thing missing is the inside label. This knife was in the collection of an old Schrade employee who started at Ulster in 1938:

You've got one of the most sought after Schrade Walden knives out there Duckdog, the original Old Timer. What an amazing piece to inherit, congrats!!!
If you need any info on it that you can't find on this site, feel free to shoot me an email, I might even have a copy of the original ad around here somewhere. I've got one myself in the original box, they sure knew how to package knife in the old days!

Duckdog,
As Eric stated, that is one of the most sought after Schrade knives. That knife was produced in 1959 & 1960 only. It is one of the Original Old Timer Knives produced by Schrade. I am very fortunate to own the Schrade Factory Collection 2 OT as well as it's brother the Schrade Factory Collection 3 OT. The 3 OT was produced to see if it would garner any interest (Only 13 were produced), and it did not get the interest so it was not produced beyond the 13. The 3 OT has a Sheepsfoot blade versus the Spear, otherwise it is Identical to the 2 OT.
Your Inherited knife is in Excellent condition and probably valued in the $400 dollar range or more.
Tom
Thanks, Tom. - StuartDang Eric, that is gorgeous. I might even rank that one higher than my Factory Collection 2 OT since you have the original wrapper and box with it. IF you ever decide to part with that beauty...you have my number and email address.
Stuart, I would be more than happy to answer any questions that I can about your other Schrades. You can send me an email or PM if you like. Thanks for posting that 2 OT
Tom
