Title: Bear Knife set! What year?
Post by: Chuck_Delsandro on April 01, 2008, 07:18:00 PM

Could someone help me out with the year this could have been manufactured? It's a Western Knife made in Boulder Colo, part of Bear hunting knife set. It has 640 stamped on one side at the base of the blade. The sharpening stone that came with it is a Norton. Thanks!


Image Deleted! I will try to resize it later tonight. I'm on dial up and it takes forever to load a photo

I bought one around 1965, and I remember them around that time period.

Chuck, you need to reduce the size of your pic, read the posting pics post on Pow Wow.

Cool set by the way. Thanks, Doug

Chuck, I was kidding you.  You need to hang onto that set.

Hmmm... don't know Chuck, I post my pics to photobucket then copy the "direct link" in the image block on TG and they come up sized right...

If you resize and then repost, you may need to hit refresh when you open the post. The web browser only checks to see if the links are the same, not the pics. Clicking refresh forces it to reload and then it loads up the resized picture instead of showing the too big one it has in it's cache from previous viewing.
