$1.00 paid at an estate sale for...

Post by jazzwalk »

Hello -
I thought this post might be entertaining for some of you, at least; the other day when my wife returned from her first visit to a local estate sale, I decided to tag along when she decided to go back for another round, as the initial cattle call stampede was likely already over with. Poking about, I stumbled upon this apparent pen knife, not immediately noticing its switch...whoa :shock:.
"Well, looky dat dere", an Imperial Hammer Brand USA automatic, at least 67 years old (but initially I didn't know this; had to snoop some online later, and soon discovered (pretty much here at this site) just what I paid $1 for, to take home with me...:roll:
Btw, if there's any further esoteric detail you might impart about this item, thanks in advance for its sharing ::tu::

That knife could be worth $100 or more.
