This matchbook arrived yesterday afternoon.
The Ulster "Old Timer" pocket knife offer expired in June, 1973.
It is in VERY GOOD condition.

That's too cool, Skip! I have a dead mint version of that knife. Just don't let any of your smoker friends near those matches! :D

Thank you Kerry.🍻
I'll guess that you paid slightly more than $2.00 for your pocket knife.
The matchbook is perfectly safe from being used. ::tu::

I got the matchbook....

I got it to go with my PA cans for the "send in offer". The only PA can I can't find is the one with the imperial offer.

I have several of the knives.....

Thanks everyone!

I will TRY.... LOL... to remember and bring my others to work and update my group shot with the can and wrapper.

Here is my older (4 or 5 years) group shot.......
(I tried to pose the knives like they were shown on the can.... :D )

grouped_2.JPG

The blades on the 58OT are over sharpened (enter my new addition!! :D ), the bale is missing on the 114OT.

Here is a shot of the 114OT that is the NEW group leader. It has a longer bail. I thought that was unusual and cool.....

114OT_13.JPG

I think this is the 10OT that belongs in the new group shot. I will have to check my pile to see if this is the best one.

10 OT Ulster Old Timer Barlow.jpg

What does your Prince Albert group look like?

Don't y'all have a nice group shot to show off?

Let's see 'em!!!!

I picked this dog leg up at the small Shenandoah Valley show earlier this year for $40. Not perfect but a great EDC. Nice weight, 3 5/8", Ebony, half-stops, swedged, long pull and that classic frame shape.

It trips my trigger. ::tu:: ::tu::
