I don't often get a knife old enough to post in this thread. However, I just got this Fairmount Cut Co, supposedly from the 30's. I believe it was made by Camillus. I liked the handle covers and of course I love serpentine Jacks. Pretty happy with this one, it's in excellent shape and well-built.

That's what sold me on the knife. It looks like camo/marble.
Ya, isn't that a neat feature.I like that "bit of fancy" on the middle spacer.
Thank you,
That is a really interesting knife, kinda like half trapper and half congress.
tongueriver, great old pre-war Boker lockback hunter model. That one got my attention.
The Chunk91, a couple of nice stockman models.
paulhilborn, neat grinder, I could see many uses for that.
JohnDF, wonderful stockman with an unusual stamp, and I agree with Camillus made.
Here is a lovely old pre-war German made Ed Wusthof 4-blade folder. Wusthof made high quality pocket knives, but they are not commonly found in the U. S.
This old fellow has a nice flowing shape with ebony handles and fancy nickel silver pinched bolsters.

Got this Challenge in earlier this week, it's well made, the blades don't rub each other or the liners. Nice crisp snap on all blades and no play.

These are in unused condition - cute little buggers!!
Here is news item from page 1 of the Walden Citizen Herald, published on May 9, 1929, announcing the start up of the Orange Cutlery Co., about 6 years later than is commonly believed by most collectors. I also have an article, from the Walden Citizen Herald in May 1930, stating that business was picking up for the Orange Cutlery Co. I could not find any info as to when the company closed, but most believe it was only around for a year, or two at the most.
Rare knife on this continent, or anywhere, herder!! H herder
Great old congress, Rob!!
A friend gave me these folding wire jacks from the Geo.Schrade Co.
in Bridgeport, Connecticut!
They are smaller than I remember them, at less than 3 1/4"?
I guess they made them in more than one size??
Ingenious little gizmos!!
