Help identifying 2 blade

Post by Simplewrench »

I’ve had this knife for a while. Sure seems old but I’m new at identifying knives, just been enjoying them for what they are for years. Anyway

It's a Colonial. The age is a crapshoot. Granddad bought a tourist souvenir from Gettysburg in the late 1970s that was really similar, and that pattern dates back quite a few years prior

Agree, Colonial. Some folks call them "Card" knives from the way they were sold on a cardboard display. Probably cost 89 cents or a dollar back in the fifties. Soak it in some 3in1 oil and that rust will dissolve. They're fun. Good luck with it. J.O'.
