1933 Century of Progress Camillus

Post by crsides »

Bought a grab bag of a dozen or so knives at on line auction. This one is pretty interesting. Try to get some pics posted. Has anyone seen one of these before and/or have any information to share on it.

Charlie Welcome to AAPK.

It is a commemorative knife made for the 1933 Worlds Fair in Chicago, and probably sold there as well.
Cool souvenir knife! 8)
A Century of Progress International Exposition was the name of the 1933 Worlds Fair.

Judging from the tang stamp is appears to be correct for 1933.
