Meriden Knife Co. primarily made knives for Miller Bros. Cutlery Co. This is a nice example of a 1-blade boys knife made as an advertisement knife for Delineator Magazine. Delineator was a magazine of that time that sold advertisements for boys clothing and this most likely was an advertisement knife made for them. This RARE classic boys knife has a single lightly used and sharpened stainless steel spear point blade. Both faces have scratches from use but other than that the stainless steel blade is clean and polished up well. Stamped on the front tang is MERIDEN (over) KNIFE CO (over) STAINLESS.

The handles are made of molded aluminum. Molded into the front handle is DELINEATOR (over) BOY SALES. The handles are also molded to mimic a jigged look. There are three aluminum screws in each handle which are commonly seen on Miller Bros. Knives. The knife has a single steel back spring. It has no cracks or breaks and continues to perform the functions it was designed to perform. This rare old Meriden Knife Co. boy’s knife is 3 1/16” in length and made between c.1917-1932.
