I could carry that one!
Question, are the handles wood or smooth bone?

Re: Now we have a Colonial thread,Show'em
I'm thinking it's probably older than the 80's because of the little church key knife on the left, used to open cans before pull tabs. Of course they could have made them even after that time period.ScoutKnives wrote: ↑Sun Jun 07, 2020 8:01 pm Picked up this display case with the original knives a few years ago , don’t think I ever posted it .
Not sure how old it is , guessing 1980’s ?
Thanks for looking ,
Mike

I posted this in the mail call thread, but I so rarely have a Colonial I'm going to use this chance to post here as well! Anyone know a date range?

Thanks, I think the Anvils are the cat's meow of the knives Colonial made, one step higher than the old cutlers. Jmho.

Re: Now we have a Colonial thread,Show'em
Never would have known this was a knife if I hadn't picked it up. Two 1' blades, both stamped "Ambassador". Made by Colonial. Neat little oddity. Does anyone have a DUNNIGANS at 2801 Elliot Street in your town? J.O.

Re: Now we have a Colonial thread,Show'em
So far, I havr not been able to find out any kind of info on this knife. Ive tried to get confirmation that Colonial do, in fact, make it or if it was a modified/homemade kimd of deal. Love the looks of it though.
Re: Now we have a Colonial thread,Show'em
It seems to me a similar knife has been posted on AAPK in the past.michaelspayth wrote: ↑Sun Nov 01, 2020 6:11 pm So far, I havr not been able to find out any kind of info on this knife.

I will look in my copy of Bob Palantonio's book to see if it is there.

Re: Now we have a Colonial thread,Show'em
I acquired this very recently. A COLONIAL, master brand, three blade, stagged handle pocket knife and display card.
By COLONIAL KNIFE CO., INC. From 1972. The pocket knife is MINT, the display card is in GOOD+ condition
Took some pictures and here it is, or here they are.
