Wow! 1913! So the 2 razors of GMK are probably some of the last two off the line! Sweet pair!

I was a scout. I can imagine the messed up blades if MY generation was selling Genco's door to door! We had to sell greeting cards and candy. Magazine subscriptions. And I am old!
So, do we have a definite date on the Case purchase of the cutlery division? I suppose the rest went to Ecko in the mid thirties. I wonder if WWII got into Case's plans for it?
Anyhow, I wonder if it is not time to head to Little Valley and thereabouts. Any Takers?"Don't be stubborn. You are missing out."
I rest my case.

Thanked: 163 Re: American Knife Co. Plymouth Hollow, Conn.
I've got a case shoulderless blade from the first decade of the last century as best I can tell. I got it at a flea market for a dollar, rusty as hell. I altered the blade quite a bit, cut a thumb notch, jimps, altered the point where the rust had swiss cheesed it to make it something of a Spanish point, and altered the tail.
I just finished sanding and polishing it today. I haven't put scales on it yet, but I'll get pics later. I'm out right now and don't have any pics yet. I think it'll be great though, despite the bit of pitting that remains.
Edit...
Here's the thread with the pics on the day I did the bulk of the grinding on it.
