This is just about the cutest little pocket knife you’ll ever see. The blade opens and closes with no problems, but is a little stained. When closed, it measures just under 1 and 3/4 inches including the bail. The blade measures 1 inch, so overall length when opened is 2 and 3/4 inches. Has a bail for attaching to your keyring. The only marking is where the blade meets the handle and it says USA.
Unfortunately, I do not know what the handle is made of. It’s not shinny, like Mother of Pearl, but has a dull ivory look and may be bone. I don’t know what types of materials were used before the 1950s. And, by the way, I have personal knowledge regarding the date on this knife. It belonged to my grandfather and he passed away in 1955.
Condition: other than the age stain, each side of the handle has one small crack where the cover was applied. It does not affect the handle staying on and the handle is not loose because of it.
Buyer to pay USPS First Class pkg shipping charges of $5.50. Delivery is from Arizona.
SHIPPING COST INFO:
I do combine shipping on multiple items purchased as long as all items will safely fit into a single box. However, my web host is not set up to calculate multiple item shipping costs. At checkout, you will be charged full shipping price on each item purchased and I will refund the appropriate amount of overpayment. If you are uncomfortable with that, you can send me an email with your zip code and stating which items you'll be purchasing and I'll calculate the correct combined shipping charges and send you a custom invoice.
SPECIAL NOTE about SHIPPING CHARGES: Twice yearly and again in November for the holiday season (so 3 times each year) the postal service increases shipping charges. Previously, shipping charges were based on weight and zip code. Now, the postal service has divided the United States in to 8 zones and all packages are charged by weight, size, and destination zone. This year's increases have added an additional 1.36 cents to up to $4.03 on packages. I try to absorb some of the new charges and haven't increased my shipping charges in three years. This year, unfortunately, I have to increase the shipping. I'll try to keep it reasonable and even absorb some of the changes when possible.
Sorry, no international shipping.
All items in my listings come from either estate or garage sales. I do not know if they came from homes where smoking or pets were present. All items are sold in the same condition as when I received them.
