I’d give you the sticker price. 
Really, I would. And I‘d buy you a beer at the Hilltop. Maybe 2.

There was a huge amount of Manufacturing in the Mohawk Valley all along the Erie Canal; if it was made of metal and or wood, it was made there.
Clearly New York was a major producer to the War Effort in WWII, but that's history and one not likely to repeat.

I've got a 16" Oneida Limited Bayonet for my Garand that my son found in a repo'ed house he was helping to clear out.
I've been in the Oneida area most of my life and can remember the traffic coming out of Sherrill when the 3 o'clock whistle would blow at Oneida Limited. They had their own skeet shooting range set up behind the plant. I would go watch them shoot as a kid.

The Sherrill city police have very little to do. Come back and get yourself a ticket for using your phone while driving.
Sorry it is all automated on both vehicles.
Long story but, I was driving a car that had been hit on three different areas, no muffler, plow lights on uni strut for head lights, cold beer in the seat next to me, after 20+ min. that was all they could get me for;faulty muffler.

My most recent run in with your boys in blue was a seatbelt offense! I'm right around the bend in the Castle! I learned decades ago to mind your Ps and Qs while driving in Sherrill. My first offense was in 1976, running my dirt bike down the middle of Sherrill Rd with my girl on the back neither of us wearing helmets, and right by a cop we did drive!

Ya, they're in the old Oneida Silversmiths factory, just using a small portion of it. I think they only produce what is ordered, not warehoused. Most of the workers and owners are from the old factory though.
Ferris Moweres has much of the old factory and the newer state of the art shipping and warehouses.

Correct. But they do have inventory to ship
I remember visiting a small gun shop in Sherrill, years ago. Can't remember the name.

I think Max’s is correct. If it’s the same one I’m thinking of They’ve been closed for a very long time now. I used to stop in there on my service travels through the area and talk with the old timer who owned it. After he died his wife and son tried running it for a bit but gave up and closed up shop. I bought a beautiful mint condition in the box Iver Johnson .25 acp that was made in the German Erma Werke factory when they had their going out of business sale. That was somewhere around 25 yrs. Ago now. I still have that little ankle biter pistol and it shoots like a charm.

Yep, old man Max Sykes on rt 5. Guns were stacked all over in corners tipping over. I have friends that went to school with his son. They say he sold guns on the side without his dads knowledge. This was long before background checks, 1980s.

Yup Max Sykes , that’s the guy. Yeah the good ol days when you could buy any shotgun or rifle without the commie nys gov’t looking over your shoulder. I bought and sold many firearms through the news paper classifieds back in the day.

Max Sykes right on rt. 5.
Got my first shotgun there. Left handed 20 ga. 870. Traded it back to him 20 years later straight up for a much older 12 ga. Ithaca Deerslayer (police special) with a corncob forstock.

yep, and it was the very first xmas tree I ever bought for our very first apartment! Both the tree and the love for the ex-wife died a short time later.

Yup, crazy place, I worked there for 10 years myself before the upper management screwed everything up! My Dad also worked there for 40 years! There is a lot of history and info about their trench knives if ya look it up and yea they are worth a good buck. The story goes that when the war ended they still had many knives around and many went home in lunch boxes back in the day! I have a bayonet that is from Utica Cutlery but have always looked for one with OL on it from Oneida LTD! Lots of history from that place for sure.

That was just a side shop the son was running for a bit. But the real shop in Vernon is still going strong. It's a must stop if you are anywhere close by.
