Vintage Tool Kit Knives & Folding Eating Sets

[just bob]

Had to look this up and thought I'd share it. Apparently, a gimlet is an old-world tool used to bore a hole in wood without splintering it. Interesting

Arriving recently in a very large group or lot of pocket knives that I bought, this item now becomes the most recent example to be posted under this topic or thread. I did NOT buy the group or lot to obtain this particular item. But, as it turned out, this item is definitely a keeper and will be a welcome addition to my general pocket knife collection. It is an Imperial, one blade, five removable and changable tools, one tang stamp, 3 3/4" closed, pocket knife. The main blade front tang stamp says "Imperial (with crown) (over) PROV. USA" Overall, the pocket knife, the tools and the vinyl carrying or storage case are ALL in EXCELLENT condition. They needed very little cleaning. I took some pictures and here they are.

Thanks Skip!

There's a cut on the top where it looks like the owner decided to test the sharpness of the knife blade!!
Otherwise it is clean and like new

I forgot that I had a complete, Imperial, pocket knife tool kit. I posted it, under this topic or thread, back on December 29, 2022. So I thought that I would see if the Imperial tool attachments would fit and work in my Ulery tool kit pocket knife. It did NOT come with and does NOT have any Ulery tool attachments. Yes, the Imperial tool attachments fit and work perfectly with the Ulery tool kit pocket knife.

I am glad that you did a "test fit" with those tools. I wonder if Imperial might have bought the patent to that design, or possibly copied it without a patent? Probably too much to expect that they randomly chose the exact same pattern?
There may never be a way to know, but ai enjoy thinking about and speculating!

Scott, it makes me wonder how many other tool attachments,
from other U.S.A. and foreign made tool kits, fit and work with
the different pocket knives from the tool kits. One size fits all?

Skip, one size does not fit all. I failed on that assumption.

I bought a set (I believe Colonial) in hopes that one of the tools would fit my Johnston USA set, but it didn’t. I collect the Johnston sets since that’s my last name & I think it’s cool. Some of the higher end ones have the manufacturer name on each tool as well I believe.

Here's the ultimate in tool kits, has just about everything. The case is all fine leather and looks like a briefcase!

All pieces present and unused condition.

That’s quite a find Dimitri Who made that?
It’s really nice.

[Mason]

Mike V., that's a great looking old Ulery hobo.

M.B., you could rebuild (or make) and entire grandfather clock with that large set.

Here is an old Clauss marked hobo with the original box.

Thanks Bill!

It's marked Jet-Line, Solingen Germany. Could be any number of German knife makers who made it on contract.

All you would need is a fine cut saw!

Outstanding Clauss, love the box too

[Mumbleypeg]

Wow, both that Ulery and the Clauss are in great condition. Thanks for showing them!

Dimitri, that toolkit is a rare and classy find!
