***** I'll let Jason describe this pocket knife. *****

"This Imperial Jack comes from the Sample Room collection in Providence. When the factory shut down the contents of the Sample Room were boxed up and brought to Ellenville and stored in the safe room at Schrade. The collection of 600+ knives consisted of some prototypes and many Imperial stock knives as well as knives from their other lines like Richards of Sheffield. They also had a lot of competitor knives, the most prevalent being Colonials. Many of the knives were in various states of disassembly or had been used for Rockwell testing but the majority appear to just be unmolested finished knives. During a visit to the factory in 1988 Albert Baer gave the entire collection to Herman Williams. Herman took them back to NC and put the boxes of knives up on a shelf in his garage where they remained for more than three decades. There’s no documentation attached to these knives, just the story passed on from Herman. Their background and chain of custody make them a unique collectible." Jason.

I did NOT buy the group or lot to obtain this particular pocket knife. But, it definitely turned out to be a keeper. It is an IMPERIAL FRONTIER, pattern 4135, three blades, two springs, two tang stamps, a blade etch, 3 1/4" closed, "STOCKMAN" pattern or style, pocket knife. The main blade front tang stamp reads "FRONTIER" (curved) with powder horn stamped symbol. The main blade back tang stamp reads "4135 - IMPERIAL - STAINLESS - USA" The main blade etch reads "FRONTIER Double - Eagle" with logo. It is in EXCELLENT condition. It needed no cleaning, I just wiped it off, took some pictures and here it is.
