Here is a little advertising knife that is very unique. I no longer have the knife and didn't realize I had some pictures of it but just found the pics so am posting here. It is a August Vignos, Novelty Cutlery, Canton Ohio whittler pattern knife and is marked on all three blades. As best as I could tell the knife was all original. The advertising pictures under each side did exactly match a small flyer I had that was MSA era. What appears to be separation at the head end marked side of the handle (second picture) is not separation but a clear spot in the celluloid cover. At any rate a very unusual little knife.

That's the nicest Advertising knife I have ever seen Wayne. Thanks for sharing.
August Vignos (Novelty Cutlery) is very historic also. He lost a limb in the American Civil War, he overcame his war hardships and became a very productive and wealthy businessman in cutlery.
Wish you still had it. I'd make you a more than reasonable offer.

That is really cool!
Interesting that it's made by a different knife maker, furthering the scepticism about historic Marble's pocket knife production.
