Item Description
Each is about 3” long with one or two blades as shown. Group begins with knife which has celluloid grips with front grip naming “Parisian Novelty Co. Mfrs. Of Advertising Specialties/Chicago.” Reverse has facsimile signature, probably of a company salesman. This side has light tan age with some also on the front side but blending so as not to be evident. Small oxidation dots on the blades. Next is brass case advertising “Golden Wedding” whiskey. Blade operates by pulling a brass extension at the right side of the case. Light wear over the brass luster. Next has pearlized grips with front reading “Drink Howel’s, Root Beer.” Reverse names “Piff’s Beverages, Bethlehem, Pa.” Base of one blade names Syracuse Knife Co. Few trivial oxidation marks in the blade. Last has front grip showing Scotsman beneath product shoe title “Bonnie Laddie.” Reverse side reads “Sundial/Bonnie Laddie Shoes For Boys And Girls.” One blade carries text “Your Name Here” and base of blade names “A. W. Wadsworth & Son/Germany.” Trace of wear on the blades and case but very minor. A nice group.
