SE questions.

Okay. I've been eyeing SE's for some time. I do, however, have a few questions. What was the first year (around, doesn't have to precise) that Gem started? Or Ever Ready? What was the first model? The Wiki is blank when it comes to SE's, so I was wondering if anyone, *cough*Guido*cough*, might know? Any help would be appreciated.

That's a funny way to spell Dave

Kidding!
Not saying Guido isn't the man, but Dave is the man who wrote the book, well is writing the book, on the Gem Cutlery Co. He knows all! I'd try and remember some dates off the top of my head, but he'll just pop in to make me look bad

Nobody? No help at all?

1898 for gem, 1900 for ever ready. the first gem model(s) to appear were the ones in the lithographed tins.
