Those are true American beauties, Lee. The red and orange craftsman swinguards are incredible! This is a new area of interest for me and it's very interesting and exciting. Thanks so much for sharing.

You guys have such god eyes. I like the Craftsman models a lot.  After I bought the first one (the Red one) it was easy to buy the next one (Orange).  I am putting away money to purchase my next two:  smaller two blade autos.

I thought back when I purchased the Red Craftsman that I posted my other "Find of the Day", an original Sears Catalog page that showed the Craftsman knives for Spring & Summer 1951.

I have to find the photo on some piece of storage or take a new pic!

Good to talk to everyone, I have to look around at everyone's new knives and pics & posts.

Hello Lee,

Awesome American Swtches. I like the Craftsman a lot. I don't have many American Autos. Two of may favorites is my Colonial like your yellow one and I have the same Schrade in Red Abalone like the one you have in the upper right. The Schrade is just a great knife. 99% of my autos are Italian made.

You have a way cool collection, Congrats,

John

Very nice Lee!! I'd love to see more autos if someone has pics. I recently picked up two beauties and would like to add more but you just can't buy them here or order them from catalogs (that I'm aware of). Thanks for posting!!

The craftsman is awsome!  I also see a Schrade made by GEC in there.  Some Beauties right there!

Hey Lee, great collection and great to hear from you. I've been missing your light hearted knife collecting. Please try to stay more active. I learned alot from some of your Post. I had no idea, that Craftsman sold a knife like that.

Nice collection! I have a soft spot in my heart for Schrade.

That Craftsman is a real score! And, it's a Schrade-Walden to boot! I love the fact that it's also orange!
