I must say that is the nicest auto ive ever seen. I wonder what the history of that knife is. It must have sat for a long time untouched. What year do you think it was made ? early 1900's ?galvanic1882 wrote: ↑Fri May 06, 2011 10:03 pm Here is one of 4 Press Buttons that I picked up this past week. This is the best of the 4 and I am very lucky to have found this one. The etch is just great and the knife is crisp all the way around.

Love that top right switch with those scales!celluloidheros wrote: ↑Fri Dec 31, 2021 4:43 pm I don't collect switchblades per say. These are ones that I picked up over the years when buying knives. There is one bone handled Remington that has a beryllium spring. The spring is amazingly strong. Another says H1211 1/2 on the back. nothing really special. i always wanted one of the bigger Cases or Kabars like a Grizzly.
You have to be trusted by the people that lie to you. So that when they turn their backs on you, You'll get the chance to put the knife in….

Re: American Switches
DO YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT THE h1211 1/2 i'M NOT SURE HOW TO READ THE PATTERN NUMBER. Im assuming the first 1 is the number of blades. The H is for the handles but not sure why It wouldnt get a 7.
Thanks, DC

Re: American Switches
I have always wanted a "Hunter's Pride". (This swing guard is an impressive pattern). It is both useful and beautiful. What more could one ask?
Re: American Switches
Here’s a set of rare American automatic knives from around turn of the century, it took me a long time to get theses two knives together, both have a factory optional “ antiqued “ finish and are spectacular! The larger George & Martha knife is signed V. Brenner , he also designed the Lincoln penny, also depicting the Capital building… the site of the recent insurrection, pretty historical knives!…. Who’d a thought.

Re: American Switches
The two previous knives are beautiful.
Here is a nice little switch I bought at the flea market today. Something seldom seen here.
Fires and locks quite nicely.
