PRESTO Double Cracked Ice Vintage Switchblade Knife

Vintage Presto double switchblade made by the Geo Schrade Knife Co of Bridgeport, CT sometime between 1940 and 1956. The knife measures 3 1/4" closed and 7 inches with both blades open and it has brass liners. The blade is stamped PRESTO over PAT JAN 30-40 over MADE IN USA and the rear is stamped G SCHRADE in an arch over KNIFE CO over B'PORT, CT. When opened both blades are tight with no wobble.

Both blades have been sharpened, carried and used. The action on both blades are a bit lazy, with both blades requiring manual assistance to be fully opened. The master blade does not sit in its home and when closed sits slightly above the scales. Its lock has lost its life over time. The smaller blade has a similiar issue and does not sit under the scales. Its lock has a half life and partially functions. 

This is a very cool old knife but it is in need of some repair. As is only.
