There are some really cool items in this post. ::tu::

Here are some figural and related items I have that I think will fit here. I have posted the baseball bat knives before but thought they might be at home here as well.

First picture:
top is an Wadsworth Germany fish knife
middle is a Syracuse Knife Co. key with advertising
bottom is Broch & Koch Celebrated Princess Leg knife c. 1875-1900

Third picture:
top is Standard Knife Co. leg knife
middle is a carved pearl fruit knife in the form of a knife
Bottom is a Remington UMC R7985 champagne bottle

Forth picture:
top is a Cattaraugus pencil with cutting and file blades
bottom is a M.C. Co. Germany player piano figural with advertising for F. A. Leatherman Nashville Tenn.

Sixth picture is a group of baseball bat figurals.

The one I posted is also stamped."Stainless Taiwan" and to me is priceless as it was a gift from my youngest son when he was 16 years old. He is now a grandfather of three at 42. ::ds::

Thanks Paul. That one took a LONG time for me to find.

Bringing this old topic to the top. Picked up this locomotive figural at the same flea yesterday I picked up a Case hunter. My interest in it stems from an interest in steam power. Just couldn't leave it on the table. Nothing special, made in Taiwan although the handles seem to be heavy and possibly brass. I used to work for a company in the boiler inspection business whose logo was a locomotive.

That is a really cool knife. The paper under it is pretty cool also.
