[Joe Dirt]

When it comes to Colonial we cant forget there Hobo's.
They made them in many different styles.

Here's a few of mine. Let's see yours!
Has anyone got the 3 piece one with the "Sport-Pal Stainless" shield?

You are always surprising me Joe! Great finds

[Bonfire bob]

Hey Scott, do you believe this guy??? How the hell did Joe ever find these old baby's Main stock # 2644 camper. I only have one pic that's in my book; It doesn't hold a candle to Joe's stuff...Bobby P..
I can't seem to pull up the pic right now; I'll do it soon..
INCREDIBLE JOE!!!!!

[TripleF]

I believe it! Joe has obviously spend loads of time and money compiling such a fine array of Colonial steel arsenal !!!

[Miller Bro's]

Here is an unused one I have in my collection. I think something is missing inside the box

[Bonfire bob]

Yeah bro, the rest of the knife!!
Miller Bros. you say?? would you be interested in a couple of 1914 Miller Bros. jewelry pocket knives??
The one on the right I believe is sterling silver, two blade and the left one is an old cigar cutter!!

[Joe Dirt]

WoW, MB!

The only thing missing inside that box is MY shadow cast upon it!
I imagin the knife was displayed dissamble in the box. Probably by a cardboard insert holding each section.

I was courious if they mad them in black jigged.
Check out the graphic of what appears to be a soldier "in the field."
What theater would that have been? Goins states the "Pic-Nic-Pal" was first made in '53.

Bobby, do you know how long they were in production?

Hey just bustin beans on the rest of the knife, of course!
The soldier seems to have an M-1, .30 cal. Carbine close by his side. That's what my pop was issued in Guam in 1945. He's enjoying a sea ration I think!! No MRE's back then!! Some Vietnam MRE's came with tiny bottles of Tabasco!!
I think they re-designed this baby in 1960 or so; my book show's a nice pic of the three parts in a viynle case! (OMG, the spelling)..!! Sorry guys, I'm a better cutler than a writter!
Joe, did you see my press release in Knife World???? I guess my pal Houston Price pushed some buttons for me!! Bobby P..

I am always interested in old Miller knives, those are nice ones

I imagin the knife was displayed dissamble in the box. Probably by a cardboard insert holding each section.

You may be right Joe, as you can see there is a cardboard section missing from the right hand side of the box.
