Old knives with tipped bolsters

[New_Windsor_NY]

This souvenir pocket knife recently arrived in a group or lot of pocket knives that I bought. This particular pocket knife was NOT the target of my purchase. However, it did end up being added to my general pocket knife accumulation. It is an ULSTER, two blades, one tang stamp, 3 1/8" closed, one spring, tipped bolsters, souvenir, pocket knife. The main blade front tang stamp says, "ULSTER (over) U.S.A." The main handle side has a logo or emblem, along with the letters "F.O.E." (The Fraternal Order Of Eagles) The main blade has no half stop. It does not have a good opening or closing snap. The secondary blade also has no half stop, with no good opening or closing snap. This pocket knife is in VERY GOOD condition. Absolutely NO cleaning was necessary. I just wiped it off. I took some pictures and here it is.

This advertising pocket knife arrived in a group or lot of pocket knives that I bought. It now becomes my latest example to be posted under this topic or thread. This particular advertising pocket knife was NOT the reason for my purchase. However, it did end up being added to my general pocket knife accumulation. It is a U.S.A., one blade, one tang stamp,
1 1/2" closed (not including the loop or ring), one spring, tipped bolsters, advertising, pocket knife. The main blade front tang stamp says, "U.S.A." The pocket knife itself does NOT advertise anything. But, it did come with a key ring and a plastic storage box. The main side of the key ring says, "VIRGINIA LEE - POTATO CHIPS" The main blade has no half stop and doesn't have a good opening or closing snap. I am 99.999% positive that the key ring belongs with this pocket knife. I do not know if this plastic box goes with this particular pocket knife and key ring, but it works. This pocket knife is in VERY GOOD condition. Both the key ring and plastic box are also in VERY GOOD condition. Absolutely NO cleaning was required. I just wiped everything off. I took some pictures and here they are.

Very recently, this pocket knife arrived in a group or lot of pocket knives that I purchased. It now becomes my latest example to be posted under this topic or thread. I did NOT purchase the group or lot of pocket knives to obtain this particular pocket knife. However, it definitely turned out to be a keeper. It will be a welcomed addition to my general, pocket knife accumulation. It is a REMINGTON R6483, two blades, three tang stamps, 3" closed, tipped bolsters, one spring, pocket knife. The main blade front tang stamp says, "U.S.A. (vertical) REMINGTON (inside circle) MADE IN (vertical)" The main blade back tang stamp says, "R6483" The secondary blade front tang stamp says, "REMINGTON (inside circle)" The main blade does not have a half stop and no opening or closing snap. The secondary blade, what's left of it, also has no half stop, but it does have a good opening and closing snap. That little guy is still SHARP!! Overall, this pocket knife is still in GOOD condition. I gave it a minor cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.

Recently, this pocket knife arrived in a group or lot of pocket knives that I bought. It now becomes my latest example to be posted under this topic or thread. I did NOT buy the group or lot of pocket knives to obtain this particular pocket knife. However, it will get added to my general, pocket knife accumulation. It is an UNBRANDED, two blades, 3 1/16" closed, tipped bolsters, two springs, pocket knife. If there ever was a tang stamp or any other kind of identification marking(s) on the blade(s), there isn't now. Maybe it is an IMPERIAL. It might very well be a CAMCO. Or, it could even be a .....? I do NOT think that it's a COLONIAL. The manner in which the shield is attached, might be the only clue as to its manufacturer. The main blade does have a VERY CRISP half stop, along with a VERY NASTY opening and closing snap. The secondary blade also has a VERY CRISP half stop, with a VERY NASTY opening and closing snap. Overall, this pocket knife is in GOOD condition. It did NOT require any cleaning at all. I just wiped it off. I took some pictures and here it is.

One side displays a FEW NICE colors. The other side displays MANY, MANY, BEAUTIFUL colors. Unfortunately, my camera just can NOT capture the full beauty of this pocket knife. The main blade does NOT have a half stop and NO opening or closing snap. The secondary blade also has NO half stop and NO opening or closing snap. This pocket knife is in EXCELLENT condition.

What a great example of old English craftsmanship.Would the scales be made from genuine Ivory ?

Would I be correct in assuming that the scales are celluloid?

[New_Windsor_NY]

What.....

Not genuine ivory, a type of celluloid referred to as "French Ivory."

Would.....

Yes, it's a type of celluloid referred to as "French Ivory."

Thank you Skip. Trying to get better about identifying it by sight.

Recent acquisition that fits here. It’s stamped Hoffritz on the front of each blade, and Ritz Brand on the back. Made by Schrade for Hoffritz.
