Found this in Georgia yesterday, C.M. McClung & Co. was a hardware wholesaler based in Knoxville, TN. from 1905 through the 1930s. These displays would've set on top of hardware store counters, near the cash registers. I got it home and loaded it up with all of my celluloid knives for that extra pop of color. It holds 24 pocket knives in the front and you would open the back panel to get your boxed new knife out.

Signaholic: What a great find-I have a 1900 Sears Catalog and it is just amazing the prices on product at that time.They feature quite a few pocket knives in the catalog most sold by half dozen.
Yeah, I know. I have several older catalogs too and if they did sell them individually, they were around 35 to 60 cents a piece! Thanks sayer34!
Thanks for the love egreeley, Designer and mtg75!
Thank you Trey, Mikielikesigns, Kevin and packrat!
