Ran across these on eBay tonight. Such an oddity I thought some of you might enjoy seeing them. They didn't sell.
Not my auction. I have no involvement in this other than the interest of seeing an oddity like this.

Re: Earring Knives
Looks like a couple of Intercast knives that someone added earring wires.Only problem with them is there is no spring to hold the blades shut.
Here is a pair I found at a flea market made from a couple of cheap Chinese miniatures.

K7K - They may be cheap and Chinese but they're still intriguing. If I were a no holds barred, fully funded collector, I'd latch on to them.

Re: Earring Knives
The little knives in the first pics look familiar. I think we used to get those out of gum vending machines or possibly Cracker-Jacks boxes when I was a kid.

Re: Earring Knives
I think I paid a dollar for them IIRC.I basically collect unusual knives now and most of them are very inexpensive.And yes they were intriguing.jerryd6818 wrote:K7K - They may be cheap and Chinese but they're still intriguing.

Charlie:those OP knives were made by Intercast.I have several of them including a set of miniature tools including shears,pliers,screwdriver etc. in a small case.I thought I had a picture of it but can't locate it.I'll dig them out and post one.
