Seen these often. Found it today for $1.75 Unmarked . Looks like a colonial. Nice steel, snap, and edge. Thanks for any info. J.O'.

Without seeing the other side, I don't believe it to be a COLONIAL pocket knife.
If the pins or rivets on the other side are "dimpled", then I would say 99.999%
COLONIAL (or The Ideal). Without the dimples, possibly an Imperial?

Skip, The pins all look like this on both sides. . Flat. I'm not familiar with "dimpled"? Thanks. I said Colonial because I remember this type of "econo" knife on cards in drugstores and such. I'm sure Ideal and Imperial are likely too. It irks me when companies don't stamped something on their products.They bothered to cut the front of the nail nick to conform to the clip curve but...... O'.

It probably had a blade etch.

What I meant by "dimpled" pins or rivets.

If I had to guess I would say it would be Ideal.

Joe, That could be the Ideal guess. O'.

I actually wonder if it's Utica? They were some what notorious for having blade etches that disappeared and left mystery knives all over. I don't see as many shadow patterns from Imperial and Colonial, they were so focused on shell handled and tipped bolsters.
