My brother in-law handed me this old '30-'36 Imperial after thanksgiving dinner. Said it was his grandfathers and that I could have it :) . He's not a knife guy and had no idea how old it is. I decided to clean it up a bit and give it back to him to pass along to his son. It is still in perfect working order and I think my nephew would appreciate it in the future.

Beauty knife in what looks to be good condition Cutty. Let's pray that Christmas Tree doesn't take a notion to gas on him after all these years. ::pray:: ::pray:: ::pray:: (Sorry for the negativity. It's just that damn celluloid. I don't trust it as far as I can throw it. AAPK made me that way.)

I hear you Jerry. That was my first concern as well ::facepalm:: My fear came from here also and has scared me from buying a few that I really liked. I will explain that to my brother and nephew when I give it back so it can be properly stored (far away from my knives ::nod:: ).

She's a Beauty. ::tu::
Yeah...this forum scared the crap out of me also...so bad that I sold or traded 95% of my cell handled knives. ::facepalm::
After talking to some Fellas out here in Tucson who also collect knives ... said they had never seen a cell scaled knife "gas out" ....must be the "dry heat".. :shock:
Humidity does seem to play a big roll in the gassing out of scales. ::nod::

Dagnabit! I went into Target (Where maybe not THIS Target, but at SOME Target I got my Alox Cadet) thinking to and with enough mad money to purchase an Alox Classic.

There wern't any Alox nor even any hang tangs for Alox in this Target!

Kinda ticks me off.
Looking for the magic penny!

Very nice knives,to all.

Hear is one that I just got in the mail today.It came from a fellow member of AAPK and all around great guy Millerbros.I have to tell you Demitri I truly do love the knife and have found it to be flawless.I'm sure this one will have a home with me for good, thanks again.

Look at the the flawless swedes front and back.

It is said that the original R-1253 was Al Capone's favorite knife.

dealraddy, that old Case Barlow is a beauty!

Phillip, your "Al Capone" is a good looker - nice knife with a very cool blade.

Lots of good stuff keeps showing up on this thread - got a few shipping to me over the next couple of days, will get some pics up then. OH

The handles are incredible and I really dig the filed liners, its a early one also having patent numbers on the tang
After all I am a huge Robeson fan ::super happy::

I picked this up last week-end at a flea market...wasn't sure about it, but it intrigued me. It's somewhat similar to the knife a few posts up? Schrade, Walden NY

Found an antique store that was just hard to believe. Asked one of the ladies, "Do you have any old pocket knives?" She said "Lots of them." Spent an hour and a half and didn't see all the stuff, there were 2 stories of antiques. Here are 2 that went home with me. The Camillus hasn't been sharpened and the Imperial is of much better quality than any Imperial I had ever seen. Something strange was used to clean the Imperial DE as it left some strange tracks on the blades. The Imperial has DE with an arrow through it on the shield. Is it considered a "bare head trapper"? Both knives has great walk and talk.
