My big exciting find from the PCC Flea Market. Actually I had a few more finds but this was the best buy.
Whenever I see knives I look for the Boy Scout badge on the handle. There are are two types. The round shield and the more ornate older shield. This one has the older style shield which I believe dates it to pre 1950. My Boy Scout knife page disappeared so it is harder to research now. But anyway it was somewhere from around that time. I have a photo of both types in photo #4. All manufacturers used the same type of shield. Multiple makers were authorized to make Boy Scout knives.
This is the typical Boy Scout pocket knife with the same 4 blades.
This is my first of the older knives which is good as the finds have a been a bit thin of late. Still have one more to post. It is very exciting and purple.
