Up for bids is an outstanding example of a very fine Schrade wireframe pocketknife. What makes this wireframe particularly interesting is the Milwaukee company advertising on the blade. The blade reads A. Geo. Shultz Company Boxes – cartons – containersMilwaukee, WisconsinAugust George Schulz and George Weinhagen formed the A. Geo. Schulz Company in 1877. Initially, they manufactured boxes in Schulz’s house on Market Street, but the company soon outgrew its modest quarters and moved into a building on E. Water Street. August Schulz died in 1896, and Weinhagen assumed control of the company’s operations. The firm continued to prosper and moved into a new six-story plant at 433 Clybourn in 1908. Ten years later, another plant on Oregon Street was acquired. George Weinhagen passed away in 1934, but the company continued expanding. A new 200,000 square foot plant at 1900 West Cornell Street was completed in 1947, and the Oregon Street facility was closed. Eventually the general offices moved to the Cornell Street site. In 1951, the A. Geo. Schulz Company became an operating division of the Waldorf Paper Products Company of St. Paul, Minnesota. In the 1960s, another merger changed the name of the company to the Hoerner Waldorf Corporation.The blade has excellent snap in opening and closing. A lot of the original surface still shows on
