Bill - Another nice array of knives - and some unique stamps included for me ... ::tu:: ::tu::

Dimitri -Nice tool sets ::tu:: ::tu:: ... I have yet to add one of those - just haven’t found any that tripped my trigger :)

Joe - Some more beauties ::tu:: ::tu:: ... I am guessing that bone handled Imperial must be on the older side - I haven’t seen many Imperials with any handles other than their later shell handled knives...

Those are great Joe! There are some cutlers in there I have never heard of. The jigged bone on that E. Weck & Son is gorgeous ::tu::

Everyone else who has posted photos of their prized vintage folders thank you and keep them coming ::nod::

Roger, gorgeous folders even the celluloid :shock: ! Seriously, I own a good number of vintage celluloid knives which are hard to pass on when in excellent condition and showing no signs of outgassing ::nod:: I figure if they are 70, 80, 90+ years old and show no imminent signs I will probably gas out before they do ::woot::
