Recently, this pocket knife arrived in a very large group or lot of pocket knives that I purchased. It now becomes the latest example to be posted under this topic or thread and to also join my general pocket knife collection. I did NOT buy the group or lot of pocket knives to obtain this particular pocket knife. But, it did turn out to be a keeper. It is a HAMMER BRAND, three blades, one tang stamp, 3 1/4" closed, two springs, pocket knife. The tang stamp says "HAMMER (over) BRAND (with the flexed arm & hammer) and also a vertical USA on the side. According to the tang stamp chart, it dates to circa 1945-1955. Overall, it is in EXCELLENT condition. All I did was wipe it off. I took some pictures and here it is.
Caption(s), if any, are on the BOTTOM of the corresponding picture(s).

Wannadotoo, that is a fine lookin' Pal!
It must have been wrapped up and hiding in someone's sock drawer for years.
Pal is a brand that seems to be uncommon around this part of the world. I found my 1st one down in the big flea market where TripleF (Scott) finds some of his goodies in Sumpter County Florida.
Thanks for posting this one, it's a looker!

I agree, that is a beautiful knife. A historic brand.
Is that a leather punch wanting to spring out the bottom on the other end?

Fine-Edge was a German import brand by Ostiso, c.1921-1923. They were nice. I have 3, two are genuine mother of pearl. Yours is nice. ::tu:: ::tu:: J.O'.

Now you have gone and done it. Asking about old stockman. This pattern is the most common in my area. I will start with 10. Because of my lack of posting skills, I will post pictures in one group and then describe in a follow-up post.
