A very nice additions to your Ephemera collection Skip. The Ka-Bar and Keen Kutter boxes are really nice. The Hockey Wrapper Knife offer kind of makes me wonder about the knife also. If it is true to the rudimentary drawing, it could be either a Colonial or Imperial Single Blade Jack with bail and possibly one by Novelty Knife Company. All were famous for making promos of these type knives. But in 1977, not sure how good a deal it was. 75 cents mail in for the knife plus 75 cents invested in the gum, seems like a few cents more than you could buy one off a card at the store? But of course, many times, mail in promo's weren't really a good deal. Look at the X-Ray Glasses from the backs of Comic Books.

It's not in bad shape at all. Pattern # 74303, maybe.

You've been posting some awesom Ephemera Skip. But I just find this add to be pretty cool. What an awesome way to promote.

Here are some original, antique, Victorian era trade cards. They are for LION COFFEE and WOOLSON SPICE CO., TOLEDO, OHIO. On the back of each trade card, is an offer for a FREE POCKET KNIFE. It partly says "The above shows exact size and appearance of our new Pocket-Knife." If the illustrated pocket knife IS the "exact size", then it measures 2 7/8" closed. It has a steel blade and iron handle. All the cards are dated 1894, 1895 & 1896. The cards are two different sizes, 3 3/8" X 5 3/8" and 5 1/8" X 7" All are in GREAT condition for being over 120 years old. The front and back of each card is pictured. I do not know who manufactured the advertised pocket knife.
Captions, if any, are on the BOTTOM of the corresponding picture(s).

Thank you Smitty.
I revised/edited the description for the trade cards.
The advertised pocket knife measures 2 7/8" closed.
I don't know what company made this pocket knife.

WOOLSON SPICE CO., per GOINS.
WOOLSON - SPICE CO - TOLEDO. tang stamps.
NOT my knife. NOT my picture. For future reference.
