My #4-5 .......

I got another beautiful knife last weekend!

It?s a #4-5 from 1972 with some documents of the order!

Nice piece of history and I really like this blade shape!

Great looking older knife plus the correspondence, a bonus.

Congratulations

WOW Peter!

I'm dyin' here! Another great find.

That's a classic early 70's "Skinner" that looks to be just like it came out of the shop.

What a bonus to receive all the neat documentation that goes with the knife too.

I really like the handwritten note by Bo Randall, mentioning the $5.00 deposit.

I do like your photography as well. Thanks for sharing.

Now if I may suggest, you need to obtain an original RMK hat/coat pin for your display, although the more contempory one (also discontinued) in your pics is more suitable for more recent knives.

Can you spot the differences?





Here's one:

Original -

Later version -


Cheers!

David

That's very cool! By the way, Bo indeed wrote the note but Mrs. Landings signed the Memo letter.

Lost my own old pin a few years ago!

But I hope to get it again .....
