Colonial Barlow electrician's knife

Post by Tom99 »

I found this one at an estate sale this week. I cleaned it up and sharpened it and it should make a handy user. It has the hollow handles and bolsters, but it's surprisingly solid feeling.
Any idea how old it is? Main Auto Parts used to be big here in Dayton, OH, but it looks like they only have one store now.
