Re: PALCO Forest Master? Who's PALCO?
Wow!! I'm afraid to jump into this snake pit right here! ::uc:: ::undecided:: I am convinced that Colonial made these knives with private labeling many years ago! They were also made before I came active in the assemble room in the early 70's. That makes perfect sence since these knive's we are talk...

Re: Now we have a Colonial thread,Show'em
Greetings Cato.!!
This very much looks like our old Colonial hatchet and knife combo!
I can't see the tang and many other company's made this type of camp combo's.
If it's a Colonial it's production date would be early 50's or 60's>

Hey there Dinadan, very pretty little Case you've got there, nice score !! ::tu:: The bolster's look to me like they have been "Lazar etched" , Sweet! The blade etching is probably a system that involves electricity, acid and other chemicals. We had a very similar set up at Colonial.... We...

Re: Now we have a Colonial thread,Show'em
Very nice my friend! These are our old # 4602, two blade jack knife..
The solid pin and bolster construction tells a bit about it's age!
The brown stain applied to the plastic handles varied for many years...
I would date these around the early 50's.....
Nice score...

Even though it's a shell knife it's in beautiful shape, probably
made in the late 50's and the long pull on the master blade
is a dead give away!! It's a keeper for sure..

Yup! Got it now....it was a bad angle of the pocket blade before!!
