Mmm, I don't think so. Looks more like Delrin to me. Seller suggested Celluloid but It doesn't strike me as Cell. I think he didn't know so he was covering his bases.

TF, Big H, I was kinda expecting you two to take a shine to that one.

I had a big ol Boker USA congress years ago. Like a dummy I let somebody talk me out of it. Been looking for another ever since.

Crushed it with that Boker, Colonel. ::nod:: I love the blade assortment on those big Boker Congresses. I often carry the beer barrel model, lots of cutting power in a reasonably-sized package. ::tu::

Tony, that's a real clean looking post-1976 long line. (1976 was the last year they pinned the handles on.) Feels good to get one in factory condition and from the sellers picture, it looks like that one is.

Due to arrive today 'Out for Delivery' I was lucky enough to win the bid on this very cool old SF knife. Since I now live in this old city -
I was attracted to this old knife. Looking forward to seeing how it really is.

Sellers pics and description:

ANTIQUE JS HOLLER & CO SAN FRANCISCO POCKET KNIFE - 3 3/8" closed. Used, sharpened condition. Vintage 1867 to 1906. Nice horn handles with no cracks or chips. Shows signs of normal pocket wear. Has unusual serpentine shield. All blades stamped J.S. HOLLER & CO A BLAICH SAN FRANCISCO on front and RAZOR STEEL GERMANY with Arrow inside an Oval logo on back. Blades have good snap with no side to side play. This knife has been lightly cleaned by a previous owner. An unusual whittler well over 100 years old.

That's a real nice old knife. Very interesting.

My big ol Congress is at the house waiting for me! In other news, my mother-in-law is coming up tonight to spend he weekend with us. Oh well, at least I'll have something to occupy me and keep me out of the way!

I got the winning bid on this schrade muskrat from our very own Scott. I've never had a muskrat of any kind, looking forward to trying it out and I'm always glad when I can support the members of this forum.

Greg I like that big trapper ::tu::


Scored the winning bid on this peachseed S-W 895. It looks like original unadulterated finish, unused and unsharpened. Beautiful dark red peachseed.
