These knives are getting harder to find now. There was a time, a few years back when you could find them at flea markets and swap meets but these days, not so much. The brands vary, Kent, Schrade Cut co. Imperial, Hammer and Hibbard Spencer Bartlett. I just dig the different color combos. Finding them is one thing, finding them in this condition is quite another.

Thanks Tommy!
Thanks Trunkman, Chevelleman69 and ttomtucker!
You have a great collection of celluloids there my friend. I had the exact same pink Kent. So many of the Kents (made for Woolworths by Camillus) were cheaply made with celluloid wrapped stamped steel scales. The odd time you run into the solid cell scales on Camillus grades knive. Congrats on a great collection.
Regards
Robin
Thanks Longings and Robin, you're right on the money. Camillus made most of the solid cells and many of the shell wrapped knives as well. I do have a large selection of Shells made mostly by Hammer and Imperial, later owned by Geo. Schrade.
Cool collection once again, but I goota say, your pictures of the pieces are even cooler!! Great staging and backdrop!Very nicely done Perry!
Thank you Bernie, egreeley and Bootson! Bernie, I always try to get the best pics possible because I hate lookin at items in lousy pics.
Thank you mustangtony!!
I have sold 2 of these recently. The Kent and Parker on the right end. The others are not for sale though.
