All About Pocket Knives

I have this old knife that I acquired some years ago and have never been able to find one shred of information about. I was hoping someone here would know something about it. It's about 3-7/16 long with two blades, one opens from one end and the other opens opposite. It has clear celluloid handles with a girl pictured on each side. One side can be seen fairly well and the other side, not so much. Seems to be very well made but has certainly not been well cared for over the years. The main blade is a little loose in the open position and someone knackered up the edge of the blade at some point but it's still quite usable. Small blade is really good condition and tight. It has brass liners and both blades have good half stops and good snap open and closed.

What say you about this little knife? Thanks for looking!

rugmar Goins :::::::: ART KNIFE CO,NICHOLSON P.A. g1915-1917 " Made in USA "is Stamped on the small Blade ? Prolly Rare And O-L -D Nice Find All I can give you on it Rugmar , wish I new more so cool .

Thanks for that little piece of info KleenCut. That's 100% more than I new before. If the small blade was stamped USA it is not anymore or at least not as I can see. I used a magnifier but still can't make anything out. I sure wish I knew more but I guess that company must have been a small player for a very short time. And a long time ago at that.

Would love to know a little more if someone has any info.

Thanks!

Same Time frame as The Nagel Knife co > Poughkeepsie N.Y., Give or Take . And The Onset Of WW1 , I think there's a Mystery in Our Midst ! Giving The Reputation of the Nagel's I Would be Hard Pressed to Part with it till I knew more though K.C.

KleenCut61,

I saw your post and read up on the Nagel knifes you mentioned. They are really cool to say the least. Also it looks like a member of this forum is the leading authority on them. He is Galvanic1882.

Not sure I see the correlation between the two except the years of manufacture are close.

Thanks for your input.
