Colonial Coke Bottle Fish Knife

Post by novice »

Can anyone tell me the approximate date/era of this fish knife? It has Coke bottle shape and green celluloid scales, overall length is ~9.25". Carbon steel blade, liners & bolsters, the only non-ferrous parts are the pins and shield and appear to be nickel. Blade & scaler are dark with a few pits but the blade is full. I like this knife quite a bit.

Looks like a nice knife.
I can't tell you much but I do know it's an early one because of the arched Colonial lettering.
Bobby P. will be able to tell you more.
