Here's my only Ariel, a pen knife with long pulls on both blades and of course celluloid handles.

It was around 2600 knives if I remember correctly djknife13. There was a little bit of everything in there. I thought this was just too cool. I think there was a pearl auto in there too that we sold pretty quickly.

Recently, this pocket knife arrived in a group or lot of pocket knives that I purchased. It now becomes my first example to be posted under this topic or thread. I certainly did NOT purchase the group or lot of pocket knives to obtain this particular pocket knife. It is an AERIAL, two blades, two tang stamps, 3 1/4" closed, one spring, "picture handle" pocket knife. The main blade front tang stamp is definitely two lines, possible three lines. What remains of, and what I can still read on the main blade front tang stamp is, "? (over) CUTLERY Cᴏ̲ (over) ?" The secondary blade front tang stamp is the curved or arched style and says, "AERIAL CUT. SUP. CO. (over) DULUTH" The main handle side says, "Cane Giuseppe, - Mellen, Wis." If there were images or graphics on the other handle side, they are not there now. The main blade, I think it is a replacement, does not have a half stop and no opening or closing snap. The secondary blade also has no half stop and no opening or closing snap. This pocket knife has many issues. This pocket knife is in POOR condition. I'm only keeping it for the secondary blade tang stamp. It is isolated from ALL my other pocket knives in case it wants to get rid of some gas. I just wiped it off. I took some pictures and here it is.
