Colonial Executive Ruler Pocket Knife.

[doglegg]

Yesterday afternoon, my visit to the post office produced this combination ruler and advertising pocket knife. It now becomes my latest example to be posted under this topic or thread. It also became the latest example to be added to my collection. It is an EXECUTIVE, two blades, one tang stamp, 3 1/2" closed, a long main blade pull, one spring, all metal, rulers, advertising, pattern or style of pocket knife. The main blade front tang stamp says, "EXECUTIVE (over) U.S.A." (most of the U.S.A. is obscured) The main handle side says, "ALLEGHENY LUDLUM STEEL CORPORATION - SAFETY AWARD ----1962" The main handle side also says, "DESIGN REG'D" on the left end, and says, "EXECUTIVE" on the right end. The main handle side is also a ruler. It measures in millimeters (MM). The other handle side says, "MADE IN U.S.A." on the left and "STAINLESS STEEL" on the right. The other handle side is also a ruler. It measures in 16ths of an inch and it measures in 32nds of an inch. This is my tenth, EXECUTIVE ruler pocket knife. My other nine, EXECUTIVE ruler pocket knives, have ALL been previously posted, under and throughout, this topic or thread. 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. The secondary blade does NOT have a half stop. The secondary blade does have a GOOD opening snap. The secondary blade does have a GOOD closing snap. This pocket knife is in VERY GOOD condition. This pocket knife did NOT need any cleaning at all. I just wiped it off.

Here is one that I found recently. It appears that this is acually a folding metal ruler when you look closely at the "layers".

HOWEVER, I cannot for the life of me figure out how to unfold it.

Does anyone else have one like this one? And does it unfold somehow?

VERY NICE!!
Steve, I don’t know how that pocket knife functions.
But, if you sell it to me, I’ll figure it out and let
you know. I AM NOT A CHEAPSKATE!!!
