Forest Master

Colonial Knife was incorporated in 1926 by three brothers; Antonio, Domenic, & Fredrick Paolantonio. It grew to become one of the largest pocket knife manufacturers in the US during the 1960s. The company shut down in 1998, but was back into production under the Colonial Cutlery International Corporation in 2001. Colonial Cutlery International, Inc. brand is the imported line of knives and tools while the U.S.A.- made products fall under the Colonial Knife brand.

That's really cool.
I would say in that good of shape would probably be somewhat rare.

Welcome to AAPK. Glad you decided to come out of the shadows and join the fun. Any older knives still on display cards like that are fairly rare, and especially so in good condition. Keep in mind though that rare does not always equate to valuable. Nice find, in any case.

Nice find. I believe that I see a zip code on that card so 1963 or newer, but probably not by much.
