Need help to identify these knives

Post by Vmiller »

Hi everyone, I'm new to this forum. Both my parents have passed and I'm sorting their estate. My father left behind several pocket knives which I can't identify. Hoping to get some help so I can determine a value to sell. I can provide additional pictures of any if needed. Thanks in advance!

My condolences on your parents' passing as well. I can help out a tiny bit with the equal end Imperial (second from last picture). It appears to be 1956-1988. Does it have just the one blade, or a secondary blade or two?

Hi Dan, that particular knife only has one blade.

A further question about the Imperial: it's hard to tell from the photo, but it looks like it's pretty small (two or three inches). Am I correct?

As these knives belonged to your parents, their sentimental value may exceed their monetary worth.

You are correct.

My parents were collectors of everything! I have so many collections to go through, it's mind boggling. While I might have a sentimental attachment to some things, these pocket knives are not one of them.
