The orange knife is a Utica. Here is a picture of one. Hope this helps.

thanks Bill, I need allot of help, and this is better than trying to digest all the books and searching the internet, witch I do also

As Bill said, Utica.

Man, what a nice "Bag-O-Imperial" shells Bill! I like the candy autos too!

Mickey - that green EE jack Imperial is SWEEEEET! My favorite of the bunch. Nice find!

Sure ain't hard to end up with a bunch of these things if ya start collocting them for there unique colors -
or like Perry said... to fill an old store counter card.

And once again Jerry comes through with a patent link to the Ulster "hollow bolster" knives!

... Joe

I received this a while back in a trade with a fellow member and I just really dig it

Imperial

That's cool, and super clean. I like the serrations!

Great shell Gino.

Glad to see you're enjoying it Gino! They were very well made for the price point.

Never really cared for the embossed, shell handled knives, but that one is really cool

That is cool Gino, I have always loved the embossed designs (BSA emblems and Cattle, etc.). Of course I like the embossed checkering on rifle stocks from the 1960's as well - think Remington, Savage and Winchester pressed checkering. OH

Bruce I've encountered a lot of Boy Scout knives like the one you showed, but I don't know when I've seen one in as good of condition as yours is. Very nice!

Neat looking knife Gino I don't remember ever seeing one like that--
Nice Imperial Scout knife OH that thing looks minty fresh!

Nice Imperials guys!

Here is a nice little surprise I picked up for $3.50.

It is marked 12K gold filled, I like the shield on this one too

I love it Miller,if you want to double your money on just let me know.Lol
Very cool shield.

Great little Gentleman's Knife

Thanks guys!

Just picked these up off Ebay, they were listed as "Dinner Knives".

They sure look factory in the auction pics, but I've never seen any like them. What do you guys think, factory or modded?
WB

Those remind me of the Imperial folders that they paint scenes on one side. I've never seen anything like those, but they could be legit.

Here's a close-up of one of the handles. It looks to me like it's a paper pic under clear celluloid wraps.
The pics remind me a little of the ones they used on the Remington posters and knife handles. It'll be interesting to see if they have a tiny little artist signature on them.
WB

Don't think I've posted these yet. Been awhile, but I'm pretty sure I've acquired these since I posted pics here last. If not, here they are again!
WB

Nice ones!

Nice ones WB.
Although shell handled knives are not highly valued they are so colorful that I cannot resist collecting them.

Knice collection Rob!!
