WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!
The holy grail of change-a-blade knives! And with the original box too!
I remember seeing an article on them in one of the early Blade magazines in the mid 1970's and I think they valued them at a thousand dollars then.

He had quite a collection of them at one time.

Great find Paul ::ds:: ::ds::

Here are 3 of the 16 Nagle knives that I own. They come around now and then but not that often. There is a single balde on ebay now with a reserve and a 199 buy it now price. If anyone wants me to share more pictures of my Nagle stuff let me know. I need to take more pictures.

Again Paul, great find!!!

OK, I will take a group shot and post them this weekend. Here is the Nagle original catalog that I own. It has a seperate wholesale and retail price guides that go with it. I will post those later also.

Here are few shots of more from my Nagle collection. The pouch with the blades and the empty handle fit in the large box and that was how they were sold.

The larger group of blades was a salesman's set. Notice the tools to remove the blades. One came with the set the other I got with one of the jacks and 5 blades.

I also have some extra blades in one of the pictures.

On the boxes, the 2 that are the same are boxes that extra blades came in. They were wrapped in those glassine envelopes. The single small box is what an empty handle was sold in.
