little help with colonial knife
Re: little help with colonial knife
Reminds me of a “tuxedo” pattern knife.
Re: little help with colonial knife
It is definitely a tuxedo pattern. As far as age, I have no idea. I glanced through the pages on tang stamp charts, and found little on Colonial knives. A more in-depth search might turn up something.

I seem to recall that it was tough to date a Colonial by the tang stamp, so old catalogs might work better. I have none. According to Goins, they began producing shell-handled knives in 1938. This one looks like it might be shell handled, but I cannot tell from the pictures.
It is a nice looking knife, but I doubt that it has a lot of value to collectors.
I hope that this (limited) information helps.

Re: little help with colonial knife
Tuxedo pattern, pen knife, maybe 1960s - 70s at oldest (guessing based on stainless steel blades). Not a lot of value because Colonials don’t generally have much demand relative to supply. JMO. Recommend this post https://www.allaboutpocketknives.com/kn ... =2&t=77592
