Knife ID

Colonial Knife was incorporated in 1926 by three brothers; Antonio, Domenic, & Fredrick Paolantonio. It grew to become one of the largest pocket knife manufacturers in the US during the 1960s. The company shut down in 1998, but was back into production under the Colonial Cutlery International Corporation in 2001. Colonial Cutlery International, Inc. brand is the imported line of knives and tools while the U.S.A.- made products fall under the Colonial Knife brand.

lurejunkee,
There is a man, user name "Bonfire Bob", Robert Paolantonio, here on AAPK that can probably tell you everything about your advertising knife. His family was the owners of Colonial. Maybe he will chime in and let us know more about your knife.

Basic 2 blade jack.
The "value" in this one is in the tang stamp......which is curved and if I remember correctly wasn't used much after the early 40's.....possibly earlier.
