Vintage Advertising Remington in Original Box

[remington collector]

This is pretty nice little advertising knife, still in the box. York Refrigeration and AC is what 's stamped in the handle.

Nice little knife. When was it made?

[remington collector]

Somewhere in the mid to late 1930's.

[Miller Bro's]

Nice, never seen that box before.

I've got a few of those boxes, the picture makes it look black but it is actually a dark green and it has a spring in the hinge to help keep it closed. They were primarily used for advertising and or promotional knives. If I remember correctly the box was 15 cents back in the 30's. They are shown in some of the old Remington Cutlery catalogs.

That's a nice advertiser.
