Imperial Jackomatic Keychain Switchblade Knife For Repair, USA Made. 

Here's a mini with a hard to find handle scale color. The sear that holds the blade open and closed is worn. I've gotten it to engage and lock closed a few times by pushing the blade closed and sliding the safety under the button. When fully closed it opens well when the button is pressed. That said, most the time the blade will not lock closed or open. It is also missing the bale. It's complete besides that piece. 

The knife was made in the USA before the 50's switchblade ban. It's marked IMPERIAL USA on the front tang and has patent #'s on the back tang. The handle scales are referred to as Grey pearl streaked celluloid in the Antique American Switchblades book. 

Nice knife for your collection or to carry and use. Please remember to check out my store (KNIVESWORTHUSING.COM) for more interesting and rare knives.

- The knife is used. There are scuffs, scratches and patina spots on the blade, handle and scales. There is blade loss and scratches from sharpening. The blade tip peaks a tiny amount when closed. I don't see any other condition issues. See the pictures as they represent the condition accurately. 

- Fires well when I am able to get the blade to lock closed. The blade bounces back and does not lockup. It is a button open/button close function and has a working safety. 

- 3.75 inches open, 1.5 inch blade. 

- Knife only.
