Gator Cutlery Club Toothpick

Post by texastoothpick »

I am a collector very narrowly focused on one pattern: The 5" texas toothpick. Also Known as the Tickler. Here is my lone Colonel Coon (original). Nice smooth white bone, made for the Gator Cutlery Club. I was a member for a while, 'cause those down south boys were very much into what has always been known as a hoodlum, or trouble maker knife. Maybe that is why I collect these things. Anyway, it is a beauty, and I am going through my collection, photographing each and every one, so here I share it with you. Nice alligator blade etch in gold. The usual Coon quality. Backspring snaps the blade open and closed like a... well, a gator. This is 189 of 350 (big club!).
