 KOREN Mfg. Co. 1917 ad -- (FLICKR)
 
 | 
| 
| Description: |  | The knife blade slides into the fork handle; the fork slides into the knife handle. The spoon attachment was not included in the corresponding "Camping Knife & Fork" advertised by Koren Mfg. Co. in 1917. 
The same ad includes images of two versions of "WOODS PLYER WRENCH." As of March 2025, no corresponding patent for that tool has been found although examples of the tool are known. See also CA-210,179 for a "modified" version of the PLYER WRENCH.
Woods had several patents matching products listed by the Woods Specialty Co., Granville, NY ca. 1898 - 1902. In later years, he appears in corporations associated with his patents in several places including Toronto, Cleveland, etc. |  |
