Antique Store Find

Post by bhuber »

Found this old Imperial over my lunch break. Appears to have Rogers jigged bone scales. Blades still snap closed but the springs are a little weak but no side to side wobble and the logo dates it between 1936-1952. I put a couple of drops of oil on the pivot area and cleaned some of the lint out of it and put a nice polished edge on the blades. I don’t feel too bad about paying $18 for it!
