Sorry Chet, I should have been more clear. In the sellers pictures there appears to be two different knives.
Check out pictures 3 & 4.

I suspect the patent number refers to the construction of the bolsters. They are shell bolsters and are crimped on the knife. I think one or more are loose and he didn't pay any attention to that when taking his photos.

I stand corrected here guys. Now I see the crimped bolster in the other pictures. I thought I was looking at a solid bolster knife and a solid knife indeed, but saw pictures 3&4 and thought the seller mixed up his pictures.

I'm sorry for the confusion...........there goes another quarter in the cuss jar.

Those knives typically don't bring over 5 or 10 dollars. IF you want one with those patented shell bolsters, they're out there. Just as pretty as that one too and hopefully without the bolsters falling off. :mrgreen:

Here's one that has never been sharpened. It's a bit newer than the one you bid on and has different scales.

I'll make you a HELL of deal on that one. If you want it, shoot me a PM.

wullie, i was just going thru some of my knives for cleaning and resorting. i came across about a dozen of those knives you mentioned, imperials, colonials and no named ones, most in mint condition.. most of my collection is listed what a paid or some sort of value price so my kids know what their worth is when i'm gone..i did pay under 10 bucks for each one, heck i bought 3 for 11 bucks even... now i am glad i got overbidded on that one.. it just looked nice to me
