Another score from the knife sale was this Hank Williams Sr. guitar shaped pocket knife made by Colonial, Prov. USA. While doing a little research I learned the founder of Colonial, Antonio Paolantonio was a blacksmith for the U.S. Calvary in WWI, and later when WWII started he was asked to serve on the War Production Board and oversaw the research that lead to the only combat knife to use polymers for handles giving the ability to boil for sterilization.
