Great photos Craig. Those cutlers were a proud bunch.
Feel free to add my photos to your files or albums. The fine print on the last photo is Platts Brothers Cutlery Float Labor Day 1907
Ken, I own only one Russell Barlow, I certainly hope it's not fake. It's clearly marked USA. What makes one a fake?
FromOver the years Schrade has made some really great affordable knives that served
as useful day to day tools for many of us. These staglon Uncle Henry's and their
delrin Old Timer counterparts were two such fine examples.
Did you
know...
In 1941, Albert M. Baer purchased the Ulster Knife Company (which
was founded in Ellenville, New York (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ellenville,_New_York),
in the 1870s) and merged it with the Imperial Knife Company and designated this
new business as the Imperial Knife Associated Companies, to produce knives for
the military. Albert's brother, Henry Baer, was the company's first president
and the namesake for Schrade's "Uncle Henry" line of knives. (From
Wikipedia)
------------ Ron Cooper - some good Vintage info
My 3 Russell Barlows above. Creig Moore has noted that the one on my left is an old German Russell fake. He pointed out the differences and I can sure see them. It is the one with the broken second blade. I thank Creig for his info. I do not like fakes and am glad to be aware now of that knife.
