Antique Mall find
Last weekend I found a little advertising knife....Stamped on the handle .. Continental....also a round gold emblem... H & C & C & G.P. Co. .......Some type of animal in the center.....the larger blade....stamped one side Made in Germany...the back side...Langenberg & Sohne... Solingen...I don't know anything about the Continental tires or the knife company....any information would be welcome!!
Re: Antique Mall find
Continental is a large tire company, they own General tires. Google is your friend. Can't help you with the knife but an advertising knife obviously. Corporate swag.

Re: Antique Mall find
My wife’s 2018 Chevy Tahoe came with Continental tires on it. So not just on European cars. I’ve heard of Langenberg & Sohne, pretty sure there was a knife made by them posted here a while back, but I can’t seem to find it now.

Re: Antique Mall find
Thanks for the information....If you find info on the knife wouldn't mind taken a look!
Re: Antique Mall find
Some Fords come with them. A friend of mine worked at their Salem, VA plant, where they made brake components.
That is, by far, the most intricate and complicated inlay I have seen on an advertising knife. And not only one of them, but two. The tread detail is just amazing! It must have been difficult to attach.

Re: Antique Mall find
Good looking knife, back in the days that I rode moter sickles continentals were the hot ticket, also had a set on a '77 ford pickup, good tires.

Probably nickel silver. It often has a patina that ages to a gold tone.raincrowe wrote:Cody...Your right it's looks to be gold inlay but I'm guessing not!! lol
