Automatic Gasser
Hey folks, I’m trying to weed out celluloid and this one I’m not sure of. It’s a hammer brand auto with black plastic looking handles. Going to isolate it if it’s celluloid. Anyone know for sure?

Re: Automatic Gasser
Not celluloid, possibly Shrinky-dink?

Re: Automatic Gasser
It looks like it's already a rehandle.
Re: Automatic Gasser
I've seen lots of different patterns of celluloid in some stage of outgassing, but I don't recall seeing black celluloid. I'm with Knifegnome, it looks to me like it has already been rehandled. For one thing, the hole for the release button looks to be a bit off-center.

Re: Automatic Gasser
It very well could be a rehandle. Would have to be done before I got it for sure.herbva wrote: ↑Mon Feb 06, 2023 10:27 pm I've seen lots of different patterns of celluloid in some stage of outgassing, but I don't recall seeing black celluloid.

Thanks guys for the input, I appreciate it!

Re: Automatic Gasser
Here is another shot. I took the other at an angle. Maybe you can tell more about it now.

Re: Automatic Gasser
Not sure what the handle material is but I don't think it is celluloid. Definitely been rehandled at some point in time. Would have originally had shell type handle construction.
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.

Re: Automatic Gasser
Do you think it was once one of these?

Re: Automatic Gasser
That’s a good possibility. Your knife looks just like mine except the handles. Hate it’s been altered but who knows it might have been damaged or something. Good to know if I sell it, thanks again Redrider.
