Re: Old Souvenir And Tourist Knives
Ike: It was. There's a similar one pictured in Levine's 3rd edition, p.275. The handles were "chased" with an airplane on one side and the three Axis leaders on the other. Cheaply made but very unique. Always kicked myself for trading it. That museum guy really wanted it. Hope it's on display somewhere. O'.

Re: Old Souvenir And Tourist Knives
Recently, this souvenir or tourist pocket knife arrived and it now becomes the latest example to join this topic or thread and to be added to my general pocket knife collection. It was in a very large group or lot of pocket knives that I bought. However, I did not buy the group or lot to obtain this particular pocket knife. But, as it turns out, it is a keeper. It is a U.S.A., one blade, one tang stamp, 3 1/2" closed, souvenir or tourist pocket knife. The main blade front tang stamp says "U.S.A." The main handle side says "Dodgers - LOS ANGELES DODGERS" and "1981 - LOS ANGELES DODGERS - WORLD SERIES CHAMPS" The other handle side says nothing, it is blank. Overall, this pocket knife is in VERY GOOD condition. It did NOT need any cleaning at all. I took some pictures and here it is.

I believe this is what is referred to, the current town hall built in 1913.

Re: Old Souvenir And Tourist Knives
Thank you, Ike.
It would be interesting to try and put the complete series together.
But for someone else, NOT for me.
***** Edited To Add Pictures. *****
Here you go, Ike.
NOT my pocket knives.
NOT my pictures.
On EBay as of this moment in time (7:15 P.M. PST).

Re: Old Souvenir And Tourist Knives
Those are fantastic!New_Windsor_NY wrote: ↑Fri Jan 07, 2022 7:15 pm This souvenir and or tourist pocket knife is a single blade, cap lifter/bottle opener handle, one tang stamp, 3" closed, all metal, pocket knife. It has an "ETCHED P. CO. - L.I.C.N.Y." tang stamp. All three GOINS books that I checked said the same thing, "Etched in L.I.C.N.Y. c 1933." The main side says nothing, but it has graphics and a space for engraving. The other side says "1933 - CHICAGO" and has some graphics also. This is my fourth souvenir or tourist pocket knife, in this pattern or style, that features this particular event. However, this is my first and only, so far, "1933 CHICAGO" pocket knife. The three "1934 CHICAGO" pocket knives have ALL been previously posted under this topic or thread. Cleaning was definitely required. I took some pictures and here it is.

Re: Old Souvenir And Tourist Knives
Very recently, this souvenir or tourist pocket knife arrived and it now becomes my latest example to be posted under this topic or thread. It will also be added to my general pocket knife collection. It came in a group or lot of pocket knives that I bought. But, I did NOT buy the group or lot of pocket knives to obtain this particular pocket knife. It is an UNBRANDED, one blade, 2 3/4" closed (not including the loop or ring), tip bolsters, souvenir or tourist, pocket knife. There is no tang stamp(s), no blade etch(s) or maker markings of any kind. But going by the pins or rivets, I'm 99.999% sure that this pocket knife was made by COLONIAL. The shield says "FARMERS MUSEUM, N.Y." Overall, this pocket knife is in NEAR MINT condition. It definitely did NOT need any cleaning at all. I took some pictures and here it is.

That one is different Skip; very unique. And I agree it looks like a Colonial-manufactured knife to me, too. Good find!

Re: Old Souvenir And Tourist Knives
I got this when I was 5 or 6 circa 1976 or 7 -- my FIRST pocket knife -- from the Alligator Farm in Hot Springs, AR. I was with my grandparents, and upon returning home to central IL, my dad secretly took it away -- while I spent MONTHS crying over loosing it. Sometime in the early 2000's, it was returned to me -- GREAT. But Dad EDC'd the knife and did not preserve it for me --
Good news is I posted this knife in the "other US knives" forum and got good info on the make, which I never knew (hard to read stamping from company I'm not familiar with). It's an IDEAL, made in USA.
