1913 - first knives by New York Knife Co. NYK had the contract through February 1923. 2/1923 - Remington and Ulster brands are introduced. A knife stock #1004 was offered without identification at a discount price. #1004 was the old NYK brand. Perhaps the BSA had left over inventories in 1923. 11/1925 - same as 1923 still discounting NYK 5/1926 - the 4 blade #1004 is gone 10/1926 - A Hammer Brand (NYK Co) is introduced with an oval shield.

1913 - 1916 - 1919 Introduced in 1921 Hammer Brand Gone 1923     Two Hammer Brands reinstated in 1927, 1928, 1929. Hammer GONE 1930   1930 Universal (LFC) replaces Hammer (Above)-These two catalogs show knives with and without shackles. Are these just artist com or do knives exist this way?  It’s interesting that the BSA was offering so many knives in the early 1930’s which was the height of the economic depression.  1936 & 1937 smaller sizws appear to be discontinued.   1941 believed to be Remington's, although by 1941 Pal was making these knives   (above left) - About 1947 the BSA quit advertising the knife manufacturer. This knife was made by Camillus (see the image), but it also exists in an Imperial. 1947 (after WW II) the shield appears. The knife in the image is a Camillus. I believe this is a scarce knife. I didn’t think I had one. I checked my Imperial duplicates and was pleased to find a Camillus among them. This was originally introduced with a metal shield replaced by plastic.
