Barlow Knife Identification

Post by tennbargainbin »

I obtained this knife in a box of antique corkscrews and the like. It appears to be a very poor condition Barlow knife used in advertising. Can anyone shed anything else onto this knife? Many thanks in advance.

Hard to tell from the pics but it appears the master blade is missing.

I agree that it is most likely a Colonial but could be Imperial the blade is not the original main blade but is most likely the original secondary blade. I don't know of any Barlow that has ever been made as a single pen blade knife. Here is a Colonial that was recovered in stag by Glennbad.
