I guess I misunderstood your post.

This arrived recently in a group of pocket knives that I bought. This particular pocket knife was NOT the target of my purchase. It is an UNBRANDED, single blade, no tang stamp(s), no maker mark(s), 2 3/4" closed (not including the bail), pocket knife. It appears to be a souvenir of France. It is in good condition. I gave it a quick wipe down, took some pictures and here it is.

Thank you, JP.
Nice souvenirs that you posted!

This arrived very recently in a group of pocket knives that I bought. This particular pocket knife was NOT the target of my purchase. It is an UNBRANDED, one blade, 2 3/4" closed (not including the loop), Florida souvenir, pocket knife. Except for some wear to the Florida "shield", it is in VERY GOOD condition. It has a VERY, VERY NASTY snap. It needed very little cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.

And a beauty! Love KA BAR's lemon celluloid. J.O'.

This souvenir or tourist pocket knife arrived recently in a group of pocket knives that I bought. This particular souvenir or tourist pocket knife was NOT the target of my purchase. It's a U.S.A., two blades, one tang stamp, 2 1/8" closed (not including the loop), HOWE CAVERNS N.Y., fob/key ring style, souvenir pocket knife. It's actually in better condition than it looks. I took some pictures and here it is.

This souvenir and or tourist pocket knife is a single blade, cap lifter/bottle opener handle, one tang stamp, 3" closed, all metal, pocket knife. It has an "ETCHED P. CO. - L.I.C.N.Y." tang stamp. All three GOINS books that I checked said the same thing, "Etched in L.I.C.N.Y. c 1933." The main side says nothing, but it has the "Sky Ride" graphics. The other side says "1934 - CHICAGO" and has some graphics also. This is my second souvenir or tourist pocket knife, in this pattern or style, that features this particular event. The other one has been previously posted under this topic or thread. Minimal cleaning was required. I took some pictures and here it is.

The other side says "1933 - CHICAGO" and has some graphics also. This is my fourth souvenir or tourist pocket knife, in this pattern or style, that features this particular event. However, this is my first and only, so far, "1933 CHICAGO" pocket knife. The three "1934 CHICAGO" pocket knives have ALL been previously posted under this topic or thread. Cleaning was definitely required. I took some pictures and here it is.

This souvenir/tourist pocket knife arrived recently in a group of pocket knives that I purchased. This particular pocket knife was NOT the target of my acquisition. It is a USA, two blades, two tang stamps, 3 1/2" closed, souvenir/tourist pocket knife. It is a souvenir/tourist pocket knife of the "Great Smoky Mts." and is marked the same on the main handle side. The main blade tang stamp says "USA" and the secondary blade tang stamp has three lines of patent numbers. It is in VERY GOOD condition. It did NOT need any cleaning. I just gave it a quick wipe down, took some pictures and here it is.

Nice one Skip. That's what I've been looking for lately is the advertising and tourist knives.

Thank you, David.

Very recently, this pocket knife arrived and it now becomes the latest example to join this topic or thread and to join my general pocket knife collection. It came in a very large group or lot of pocket knives that I bought. I was very pleased to find it, but I did not buy the group or lot for this particular pocket knife. It is a U.S.A., one blade, one tang stamp, 2 1/2" closed (not including the bail), souvenir or tourist pocket knife. The main blade tang stamp says "U.S.A." The pocket knife is shaped like a bat and has the original ball attached to it. The main handle side says "BABE RUTH-1927 - 60 HOME RUNS - SOUVENIR-NEW YORK YANKEES" It is in EXCELLENT condition. It did NOT need cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.

***** NOTE *****
The very last two pictures, #9 and #10, are of the pocket knife that Dimitri (Miller Bro's) posted in the "General Knife Discussion" forum, under the "shell handled knives" topic, back on Thursday, January 27, 2011. It has different wording. His says "SOUVENIR-BABE RUTH - 1927-60 HOME RUNS" Dimitri, I hope you don't mind that I posted your pictures here.

Nice find Skip, interesting that the wording is slightly different from the one I have

It came in a very large group or lot of pocket knives that I bought. I am happy to have it, but I did not buy the group or lot for this particular pocket knife. It is a JAPAN, two blades, six tools (a can opener, a cap lifter or bottle opener, scissors, a punch or awl, a file and a corkscrew), 2 1/4" closed (not including the bail), "Disneyland" souvenir or tourist pocket knife. The main blade front tang stamp says "JAPAN" The shield says "Disneyland - WALT DISNEY PRODUCTIONS" Overall, this pocket knife is in VERY GOOD condition. The blades and tools needed a little cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.
