Got this in a 10 knife deal today. Un-stamped souvenir of Paris showing the Eiffel Tower, Sacred Heart Cathedral, the Opera House and the Arc De Triomphe. Cast or stamped aluminum, late nineteenth-early twentieth century. A little rough, "relic" condition. J.O'.

Got this today. Utica, 1941 meeting souvenir. (Rare to be able to date a Utica accurately.) I found "U.C.T." on line as the Order of "UNITED COMMERCIAL TRAVELERS: in Columbus Ohio. It was founded in 1888 as a fraternal benefits society for traveling salesman and business reps. They are still in operation. The things you can learn collecting knives! J.O'.

Very recently, this souvenir or tourist, fob or key ring pocket knife, arrived in a group or lot of pocket knives that I bought. It now becomes my latest example to be posted under this topic or thread. I did NOT buy the group or lot of pocket knives to obtain this particular souvenir or tourist, fob or key ring, pocket knife. But, it did turn out to be a keeper. It became the latest example to be added to my general, souvenir or tourist, fob or key ring, pocket knife accumulation. It is a U.S.A., one blade, one tang stamp, 2 3/4" closed (not including the loop or ring), souvenir or tourist, fob or key ring, pattern or style of pocket knife. The main blade front tang stamp says, "U.S.A." The main handle side says "ELVIS PRESLEY - KING OF ROCK 'N' ROLL - 1935-1977" It also has a head or facial image of Elvis. The other handle side says nothing, it is blank. This is my second, slightly different from my other, Elvis Presley pocket knife. My other Elvis Presley pocket knife was posted, by me, under this topic or thread, back on Thursday, December 1, 2022. The main blade does NOT have a half stop. The main blade does have a GOOD opening snap. The main blade does have a GOOD closing snap. This pocket knife is in VERY GOOD condition. This pocket knife did NOT need cleaning. I just wiped it off. I took some pictures and here it is.

A whole buncha more. This should take 5 posts as there are multiple images of some knives. My camera phone takes lousy pics so please forgive the quality.

Found this Colonial (U.S.A.) and L.F.& C. today in Exmore, VA. The L.F.& C. is untouched, just some drawer crud. That Walke Co. was begun in 1884 . The knife is between 1914 and 1930. J.O'.
