Wow, am I reading that right? This knife was $60 in a 1912 catalog? That's a fortune.

Prices in old catalogs were usually listed as either per dozen or half dozen so I would think that knife probably was $5.00 per knife.TwoFlowersLuggage wrote:Wow, am I reading that right? This knife was $60 in a 1912 catalog? That's a fortune.
