Very nice Keen Kutter Jeff. Edward Campbell Hardware co. was active between late 19 century to 1960's. If I need to guess I'd put a 1930-40 (a guess only :) ) time frame on it. Anyway great knife in good condition and very nice bone handles.

I think Mike made a good guess. I would think pre-1940 too. Nice KK, BTW !! :thumbup::)
 
My latest conquest, a 40's-60's Case small Coke bottle. It's my new favorite knife, I'm loving all 3" of it! My son's painting and a newly cut, weathered, ball-in-cage for a backdrop:

 
Thanks Mike. I agree, in fact I'll only buy ~pre-1975 Cases now, based on a bunch of poor quality buys of newer knives. I have 3 red bone Cases, they are all perfect.
 
Thank you, Mike and Primble, for the dating. Too bad about the chunk out of the clip, but it really doesn't affect its cutting ability.
 
In light of the recent great Barlow's posted, I'm almost ashamed to post this, but I have not found too many Bone handled Colonials.

Simple Man : I have a couple of Colonials that have much better Plastic handles that are in better shape and still not as nice as your broken bone handle. At least the broken bone does not look cheap like the plastic does. Thanks for the good pictures.

This 1975 Commemorative issue of the Russell is not all that old , but I have FINALLY found one . Some people belive it was made by Schrade. I just found it 400 miles from home in Madison , Indiana. Some guy from Louisville had just turned down the chance to buy it.If anyone knows more about who made it , please add any info.







I wish it had been made with Saw Cut Delrin , but it is what it is.

Nice UMC, Phil. :thumbup:

Here is an old Pal Cutlery Co. pruner I just acquired cheap. Cleaned up good. The pile side has especially beautiful
rosewood, while the mark side is pretty dark. Blade is full and took a nice edge. The knife is 4.08" closed.
My only info is that it probably was made in the late '40s to early '50s, when they went out of business.
If anyone knows any info about this knife, when made, etc., please let me know. Thanks.

Nice Pruner Jeff :thumbup:









I picked these three up in the week – by John Nowill, Walter Green, and Herbert Robinson. The MOP Penknife by Walter Green Ltd is the most interesting I think, company was established around 1911, Walter Green having previously been a partner in Green & Green Ltd, who by coincidence used the seated grinder mark later acquired by Herbert Robinson. Walter Green Ltd folded in the early 1940’s. The knife carries advertising for George Craddock & Co Ltd, who began manufacturing wire ropes in Wakefield in 1853, and merged into British Ropes Ltd when the company was formed in 1924.
 
Nice pens, Jack. I love the coined covers on the Robinson, a real pocket worry stone, very tactile! is it stainless steel, do you think?
