Old Switchblades
Old Switchblades
When I was 12 years old in 1956 I bought quite a few of the cracked ice and candy stripe knives. Not sure if they were Hammer Brand or Imperial. Played with them until they were broken and threw them away in the woods or the bayou. Wish I had kept them, they are quite a bit more costly now than 1956. The WUCOS on the left was a mystery until another collector said he was pretty sure it was made by Geo. Schrade in the 40s I think. Any other information would be appreciated.
