Loooove all the beautiful old cell popping up in this thread, what a great idea!

I know exactly how you feel. I do find myself having a little more confidence in 100+ year old cell knives that still show no sign of outgassing after a century of life, although I still store them in independent sleeves away from most of my other knives.
I noticed that most of my cell knives are insufficiently photographed, so I gathered what I could for this thread and I will use its existence as motivation to get photos (or better ones) of my other cell knives.

What a beautiful bunch of knives, Wayne!
The "bat" knives are interesting. Who made those?

Dave, I agree with Cal. Your Utica is quite unusual. I want to call it a cattle jack for the blades but the pattern is so different. Lucky you! I feel

All the knives posted on this thread are very nice. I especially enjoyed all the glittery ones this time of year

Wayne. That's a very impressive bunch. I like the 4 blade ones but really like the dog leg jack.

That Iroquois is way cool! Don't often see a Christmas tree handle on a scout pattern.

Here are some celluloid toothpicks / fisherman's knives that are all in near mint condition. Top to bottom: Imperial, Colonial, Hammer, Hammer. They all came from the same seller at a knife show.
I've been hunting great condition celluloids recently so if you have any for sale give me a shout. All patterns but I particularly like Coke bottle hunters.

Thanks, Steve! I think technically it could be considered a harness jack due to the leather punch. Another AAPK member told me Utica called the pattern the "Syrain". A weird name for a weird knife.

OF, beautiful old knives. I love the look of celluloid knives. You just have go be careful in what you buy.
I've had a few outgas, but most of mine are fine.

I don't have a lot of celluloid knives, but after looking at yours, they make mine look not as good as I thought they were. Thanks for sharing, they are nice. Bill

Those are some beauties; thanks for posting them. That first German is the bee's knees!
I wouldn't be too concerned about the old ones, with normal protocol for storing celluloid, but I would consider keeping the Germans WAY far away from everything else; they do have a reputation for 'you know what.'

Most are okay, and yes I have also suffered losses over the years.

Thank you Cal.
I agree with your segregation statement.
I have lost my share of beauties over the years. Many do not play well with others and must be separated.
Also, thanks for the "Go here as well topic" below.
