Thank you, Dimitri. 🍻
Now, there are definitely five less of these Imperials available.

Very recently, my visit to the post office produced this multi tool, with a glass cutter, camping or scouting, pattern or style of pocket knife. It now becomes my most recent example to be posted under this topic or thread. It also became the most recent example to be added to my multi tool with a glass cutter, camping or scouting, pattern or style of pocket knife collection. It is an Imperial, one blade, four tools (a cap lifter or bottle opener with a screwdriver, a punch or awl and a glass cutter), one tang stamp, 3 7/16" closed (not including the bail), camping or scouting, pattern or style of pocket knife. The main blade front tang stamp says "Imperial (with crown) (over) PROV. R.I." with a vertical "USA" on the side. This is my sixth Imperial, multi tool with a glass cutter, camping or scouting, pattern or style of pocket knife. My other five Imperial, multi tool with a glass cutter, camping or scouting, pattern or style of pocket knife, were ALL previously posted, by me, under and throughout, this topic or thread. Also, this is only my sixth, multi tool with a glass cutter pocket knife, that was NOT MADE IN GERMANY. The main blade does NOT have a half stop. The main blade does NOT have an opening snap. The main blade does have an OK closing snap. ALL three of the tools open and close properly, without any issues. Overall, this pocket knife is in GOOD condition. This pocket knife needed to be cleaned up a little bit. I took some pictures and here it is.
