This is a hard to find NYKC Hammer Brand Model No. 3276 Dolphin Lobster Folding Pocket Knife with candlestick ends. The knife has a lightly used and sharpened carbon steel spear point main blade with a common nail pull. Both blade faces have scratches from use and some light staining and extremely light micro-pitting. Stamped on the front tang is HAMMER (over) BRAND along with the Hammer Brand arm and hammer logo. On the opposite end of the frame is a used and sharpened carbon steel pen secondary blade. The front faces has some light staining and light micro-pitting. The rear face is much cleaner with some light scattered staining. Stamped on the front tang is NEW YORK (over) KNIFE CO (over) WALDEN. Opening from the bottom of the frame is a long carbon steel dual-sided fingernail file, or manicure, blade. It has a standard vertical ridge and valley file on one blade face and a recessed parallel set of file blades on the other face. The end of the blade is the fingernail cleaner but has a sharpened leading edge. Stamped vertically on the tang is NEW YORK (over) KNIFE CO (over) WALDEN. Both the spear and pen blades have very good snap on open and close. The fingernail file blade has a good “thump” on open and excellent snap on close. The knife has a beautiful set of fiery genuine Mother-of-Pearl scales. They do have one flaw though. There is a liner to liner tight crack on the rear scale on the left center pin. Other than this there are no other cracks, splits or missing chips. The scales are still still stable and tight to the frame. There are five (5), yep, five (5), polished brass handle/pivot pins in each scale. The bottom liners on the knife are file worked German Silver presenting a reeded edge look. The knife has no metal top liners as they simply used the thick slice of pearl to act as the top liners. This great looking hard to find old NYKC Hammer Brand Model No. 3276 Dolphin Lobster Pen Pocket Knife is 3 1/4” in length and made between c.1882-1931. Additional photos or information on request.
