This is my most recent example to be posted under this topic or thread. At the time, it also became the most recent addition to my general, pocket knife ephemera collection. It is a pinback button advertising the "RUSSELL WHITTLERS' CLUB" It measures 3/4" in diameter. It has the complete pin. It has the original, complete, manufacturers back paper. This pinback button is in EXCELLENT condition. This pinback button did NOT need any cleaning at all. I just wiped it off. I took some pictures and here it is.
Caption(s), if any, are on the BOTTOM of the corresponding picture(s).
Click on a picture to ENLARGE.
Very nice addition to your WH / general ephemera collection.
Have a great day . ::handshake::

This may not exactly fit but it is cutlery related. I picked up a Norton India stone from Scott (TripleF) and it came in the original cardboard box. I’m not positive if the age but it’s got a nice look.
