Yard sale today, $1. 2-7/8" stainless pen. "Homestead Valves". Old timey looking. Totally untouched, just dirty. J.O'.

Can’t go wrong at that price! A venerable Pennsylvania company that’s been around since the 19th century. Good find.

Thanks guys. It had rained yesterday and the knife was in a bucket with a couple inches or water. Good thing it's stainless! I would call the shape, swell center pen. Guess you meant Homestead Valves is an old PA firm. Nice. J.O'.

I just contacted Homestead to describe the knife and asked when they were given out. It'll be fun to find out. (If they answer) I'm guessing the 50's-70's. J.O'.
