My Model 13-4" miniature

There are inconsistencies in Pete's book. One of which would involve the example below. An Arkansas Toothpick in a Clarence Moore sheath.
Historical ref: According to Bob Gaddis and the Randall records, the 1st #13's came to be in April of 1953. According to Pete's book, a bit more generalized granted, Moore sheaths were used from the late 1930's into the 1940's. It is difficult to use the defense of "1st one in...last one used" for this Moore sheath. It could not have been "in" at all earlier than the early 1950's.
Safe to say, regardless of exactly "when".."THIS" is a scarce find! All the brass "tricked-out" fitting and hardware, along with an elephant ivory handle and a "no hone" Moore!
Enjoy, Capt. Chris
PS: I picked this up from a colleague and customer "after" the Gator show had closed on Sunday...and "just" before he left the show. ( I gave everybody their chance)!!!

Capt.,

What a great 13, however I don't know much about this model. Would it be common for the stamp to face in the opposite direction? You did good at Lakeland, I guess I should have stayed longer that afternoon. Thanks for sharing a really exceptional example.

The reverse blade trademark, as well as name etching, is testament to the fact that this toothpick was probably half of a Faisal set. The "left" positioned knife would have the the opposing blade trademark so that it would display properly with the large Bowie located on the right. This has been evident with blades of this configuration in the past. I don't believe it can be ordered this way today but I am not sure of that. Nice toothpick though, no doubt.
Best, Capt. Chris

I'm not into Toothpicks, but that thing it beautiful.

Been looking for some "Old Yeller" for a few years and wanted it on a big knife. Looks great on this big 13.

Okay, Whiteman, I think I'm into Toothpicks now.

You need to add the other one to it like this! lol

I have never laid eyes on or held a big toothpick, hardly see them out at shows! Might be why I don't own one. I used to say the same thing about 19's, but blade fixed that!!

Nice Westinghouse pair Bill. Awesome score!
