I picked these knives up last week-end. I did some research, and a few posts on this site lead me to believe that some knives simply stamped 'USA' are either Colonial or Imperial.
The first one is interesting and looks old, and I have seen others that were produced around war time, and were referred to as 'Risque' knives with ladies on them. Sorry boys, I think she is clothed. Nevertheless, I'd be interested in hearing from anyone who may shed some light on this one.
The second blue one...well, is blue, with a USA stamp. Do you think these may be colonials?
cheers
Could these be Colonials? USA stamp

These are cheap knives you would get either out of a gum ball machine, 5 & 10, Hardware store.
I have this one that is similar to the light blue one.
It is marked "The Ideal" and U.S.A.
I got this knife more than forty years ago from a long gone local Mom and Pop Hardware store that also sold Toys, models, stuff for kids.
I also remember seeing those pinup knives in the same store. I didn't think my Mother would approve of me buying one of those.
If I recall this knife cost 50 cents.
That's how much I got for allowance way back then.
Also here is another post with a similar Ideal knife that looks like the pinup girl knife.
