All About Pocket Knives

A 3-5/16" celluloid "picture" knife, probably from the twenties, great blades and snap. Mark is unreadable but it has to be CANTON, NOVELTY, AERIAL, LACKAWANNA, WABASH, or GOLDEN RULE, for five bucks!
Now, here's the lucky part. A 3-9/16" CHALLENGE, Harness knife in good shape. It was very dirty, blades rusted shut.
Guy said, "You can have that rusty one for nothing"! Took me ten minutes to clean it up a little. J.O'.

Very Nice. Vaughan been around for many years. Used one of their Roofing Hatchets (or I think technically they called it a riggers or rig builders hatchet) for a couple of summers in my younger days. I believe they are still producing them here in the U.S.
