Aerial knife tool kit

Post by Rockingkj »

Found this set today. Aerial knife tool kit. Marked A.C. MFG. Co MARINETTE WIS, picture handles with early car and horse drawn fire apparatus. Really does not look to have been used. See the pictures.

You can always get more money, good old knives are hard to find.

That’s a great set

Keep an eye on those handles, though.

Simply pushed into install and pulled straight out to remove about a simple as it gets.

Thank you. I can see where that would work as the saw cuts on the forward stroke. Most european kits, the saw cuts on the pull stroke. I would be interested in that one should it ever come up for sale.

The “blades” sorta snap into place and are very securely held. Think normal use would not pull one out. I’m not a collector of tool kits and likely will have it out for sale at some point.

That’s a great find there Rocking! Aerial used a lot of celluloid picture handles and are prone to out gassing. You have an exceptional knife there that isn’t been affected by out gassing. Used to collect Aerial and have Never seen such a nice set . You did well .
Thank you for sharing.
