Yes, on a buy it now or best offer. I made them an offer.
I probably paid too much but it had been a slow week and I'm a sucker for mother of pearl.

Thought I would resurrect this thread today. Awhile ago I got another palette knife thanks to our fellow member PC Wizard aka Gary(thanks again my friend!)who won it off e-Bay for me.A long story but as the seller would only accept PayPal(which I don't have)he bid for me and won it.
Probably paid more than it was worth but that wasn't a problem as the advertising on the blade was for the George E.Watson Co. of Chicago who were a manufacturer and distributor of sign painting supplies.I just happen to own a Watson sign painter's kit from the mid 1920's and thought it would make a great addition to it. It does!
The tip of the blade has a small crack in it and is not shaped like most of my palette knives but I think it was made that way as I came across another non folding one with a similar tip.
Anyway here is the palette knife along with a pic of the sign kit it now resides in.
