I've seen a few references over the years to a Colonial book, written by the son of the founder. I've done a lot of searching and apparently the book must be pretty rare because I've never found one for sale.
Can anyone here point me in the right direction to find a copy?
"My Family Business ... the Colonial Knife Company" by Robert Anthony Paolantonio (Bonfire Bob), self published and copies sold personally by Bonfire Bob.

Re: Colonial Book
Here are a couple of screen grabs from a 10 year old posting on iknifecollector.com. Perhaps you have seen this post and tried to contact him. If not, and if Bob is still with us, perhaps some of the links are still active and you can track him down for a copy.

Re: Colonial Book
Bob was actually the grandson of one of the founders.
Bob passed away a few years ago, I don't know exactly when.
I really enjoyed reading his posts.
If you haven't read them you should.
