Thread: NOS Sears Craftsman

Did some trading for this one. Marked "CRAFTSMAN" on the front of the tang, and "Distributed by Sears, Robuck and Company Chicago, IL" on the back. No other marks to determine if it was made by Ern, Sta-Sharp, or another company. It is also a much less fancy model than many I have seen. The seller reported that when he purchased this, it had never been sharpened outside of the factory, and he sent it to be honed, and that's it. My pictures don't show the condition of this blade very well. Any idea on the manufacturer, or the date made?

WILBERT CUTLERY CO
Trademark used by Sears, Roebuck & Co.
Chicago, Illinois
ca. 1908 - 1921

Thank you, that gave me more stuff to look up. So I just found another thread that said that some of the Wilbert straights look like Bokers, since Sears didn't manufacture anything. Is there anyway to verify that?

No matter who made it, it shaves awesome. It sings while it cuts, which made finding the angle easy.
