All About Pocket Knives

Not too recently, my trip to the post office produced this advertising pocket knife. It now becomes my latest example to be posted under this topic or thread. It also became the latest example to be added to my general, pocket knife accumulation. It is a W. H. MORLEY & SONS, GERMANY, one blade (broken), one tool (a file wth a blade tip), four tang stamps, 3 1/8" closed, all metal, one spring, advertising, pocket knife. The main blade front tang stamp says, "W. H. (over) MORLEY (over) & SONS (over) GERMANY" The main blade back tang stamp has the "clover" logo. The tool front tang stamp says, "W. H. (over) MORLEY (over) & SONS (over) GERMANY" The tool back tang stamp has the "clover" logo. The main handle side says, "THE CANTON - STAMPING & ENAMELING COMPANY. - CANTON, OHIO, U.S.A." The other handle side says, "MANUFACTURERS OF - "FRENCH GRAY" ENAMEL WARE. - STANDARD WORLD OVER" This is my second W. H. MORLEY & SONS pocket knife. My other W. H. MORLEY & SONS pocket knife, also with a broken blade AND a broken handle or scale, was previously posted, back on Sunday, March 5, 2023. This main blade stub does have a CRISP half stop. This main blade stub does have a VERY GOOD opening snap. This main blade stub does have a VERY GOOD closing snap. This tool does have a CRISP half stop. This tool does have a VERY GOOD opening snap. This tool does have a VERY GOOD closing snap. With the broken main blade, this pocket knife is in FAIR condition. I gave it a VERY MINOR cleaning. I took some pictures, here it is.

Thank you, Ike.

Very recently, this pocket knife arrived in a group or lot of pocket knives that I purchased. It now becomes my latest example to be posted under this topic or thread. I did NOT purchase the group or lot of pocket knives to obtain this particular pocket knife. However, it did turn out to be a keeper and it did get added to my general, pocket knife accumulation. It is a W. H. MORLEY & SONS, two blades, four tang stamps, 2 1/2" closed, a long main blade pull, one spring, pocket knife. The main blade front tang stamp says, "W. H. (over) MORLEY (over) & SONS (over) NEW YORK" The main blade back tang stamp has the "clover" logo. The secondary blade front tang stamp says, "W. H. (over) MORLEY (over) & SONS (over) GERMANY" The secondary blade back tang stamp also has the "clover" logo. This is my third, W. H. MORLEY & SONS pocket knife, that I have posted under this topic or thread. But, it is my first W. H. MORLEY & SONS pocket knife, that is COMPLETELY INTACT. NO broken blade(s) and NO broken handle(s) or scale(s). The main blade does have a GOOD half stop. The main blade does have a GOOD opening snap. The main blade does have a GOOD closing snap. The secondary blade does have a GOOD half stop. The secondary blade does have a GOOD opening snap. The secondary blade does have a GOOD closing snap. This pocket knife is in EXCELLENT condition. It did NOT require any cleaning at all. I just wiped it off.
I took some pictures. They do NOT capture how truly BEAUTIFUL the mother of pearl handles or scales are, and here it is.
