The " Roosters " are crowing for the " Farmers"

Bryon, wonderful collection, the antique yellow bone seems right at home with you. OH

Siletto Cutlery NY.
A brand of Pacific Hardware and Steel. Some say Napanoch made, probably hard to tell with this example ? You can't be too choosy with this pattern.
2479 stamped on pile side of the master blade.

Any ideas?

I don't think this is of any help to your farmer's jack, Lyle, but just in case, I am including this shot of one with those tang stamps.

Thanks for the interest . I used to work at Ashtabula quite often and my cousin lived in Mentor for a while.

I'm just back home from an extended vacation and have just noticed my picture in the hall at GEC.

I have no information about this.

I just saw this, @wlfryjr…I’ve been teaching in Mentor for 33 years, and this is the last. 30 days left!

Contract Knife!! Hard to tell which your knife is, but Levine says they were made by three companies:;
> Napanoch 1901 - 1917
>NYK 1920 - 1931
>Union Cutlery 1933 - 1942

Frame doesn't quite match NYK.
The Union made one I've seen is a subdued style Wharncliffe frame and smaller, similar to Schatt's size . 3 3/4" inch I think. No rat tails either.
May be Naponach. I'll just have to conjure up a Naponach stamped FJ and see.

I didn't mention above, but the Stiletto is all steel construction and pickbone. It has a typical Ulster shield and I believe it may be an Ulster, but no Ulster I've seen is numbered . The only numbered I've seen are French ivory NYKs and later Schrades.
