Wait until Mike (galvanic1882) sees those!
He had quite a collection of them at one time.

Again Paul, great find!!!

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.

Wow, Mike. That's more than impressive.
I purchased ONE about 10 years ago and felt very lucky to find that one.
More rare than hen's teeth!

Thanks for the kind words it has taken me a long time to gather this group.

Yes the blades should fit in tight just like a regular jack or pen knife just as long as you match the right blade with the slot. They are different sizes and some are thicker than others so all the secondary blades on the jacks don't fit in the slot for them. The pen knife frames seem to take any pen blade not matter the length they are all the same thickness.

More pics to follow of the case and some paperwork that I have.

Paul you have found a true gem and the box is a very RARE item. They have been known to sell for 200-300 dollars.

Here is a few pictures of the Nagle Display case. I got it from a man in Oklahoma many years ago. I had to trade a piece of glass from the World Trade Center plus cash to get it.
