Thank you Tom.
I believe KINGSTON USA stamped pocket knives were manufactured in Ellenville, New York.

Today this pocket knife becomes the latest resident of the zoo. It's a KINGSTON, 2 blade, "Deer Head" pocket knife. It needed a little cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.
Very nice Skip. Your deer population is doing well.

Today the zoo gains another resident. Another Imperial, single blade, 3 tool, "Deer Head" pocket knife. It needed a small amount of cleaning. I cleaned it, took some pictures and here it is.

Today I add the latest resident of the zoo. It's a PASTOR ALEMAN (German Shepherd), single blade pocket knife. It also has a cap lifter/bottle opener/can opener. This knife "brand" is part of the Imperial and Colonial, Mexico story/connection. This tang stamp does not have the profile of the dog's head. It didn't need any cleaning. I took a few pictures and here it is. Click on a picture to ENLARGE.

Bill Feeney "duck in a marsh" scrimshaw on a 1980s Parker knife. Mirror-polished blades have half-stops. Pile side is white bone (not mammoth). The 25,000 year old carbon-dating of the mammoth ivory is a great accompaniment. Foam in wall display needs replacement.
I don't always respond to great posts but I always appreciate seeing them. Thanks for posting!

Today this pocket knife becomes the latest resident of the zoo. It's a PASTOR ALEMAN (German Shepherd), single blade, 4 tool, scouting/camping style pocket knife. It does have the dog head profile on the tang stamp, so it qualifies for zoo residency. This knife "brand" is part of the Imperial and Colonial, Mexico story/connection. It did not need any cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.
