Two good finds!

A couple of days ago, this souvenir or tourist 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. It also became the latest example to join my general, "souvenir" pocket knife accumulation. But, I did NOT buy the group or lot of pocket knives to obtain this particular pocket knife. It is an Imperial, two blades, two tang stamps, five tools (a cap lifter or bottle opener/screwdriver, a broken can opener, a wire stripper, and a corkscrew), 2 1/4" closed, one long blade pull, one long tool pull, tip bolsters, souvenir or tourist, pocket knife. The bail is missing. The main blade front tang stamp says, "Imperial (with the crown) (over) PROV. R.I." with a vertical "USA" on the right. The secondary blade front tang stamp says, "Imperial (with the crown) (over) PROV. R.I." with a vertical "USA" on the right. The handle says (worn), "GRAND CANYON - NAT'L PARK" The main blade does NOT have a half stop. The main blade does NOT have an opening snap. The main blade does have a GOOD closing snap. The secondary blade does have a GOOD half stop. The secondary blade does have an OK opening snap. The secondary blade does have a GOOD closing snap. The four tools ALL, open and close without problems. The broken can opener can still be used as a hole punch or an awl. Overall, this pocket knife is still in GOOD condition. This pocket knife did NOT need any cleaning at all.
I just wiped it off. I took some pictures and here it is.

A couple of days ago, this souvenir or tourist pocket knife arrived in a group or lot of pocket knives that I purchased. It now becomes my most recent example to be posted under this topic or thread. It also became the most recent example to be added to my general, pocket knife accumulation. I did not purchase the group or lot to obtain this particular pocket knife. But, it did turn out to be a keeper. It is a U.S.A., two blades, one tang stamp, 3 1/2" closed, “dimpled” rivets or pins, tipped bolsters, two springs, souvenir or tourist, pocket knife. The main blade front tang stamp says "U.S.A." The main handle side says, "YELLOWSTONE PARK" The other handle side says nothing, it is blank. Because the pins or rivets are the "dimpled" style, I suspect either COLONIAL or The Ideal as being the makers of this pocket knife. More than likely, this pocket knife is a COLONIAL product. The main blade does NOT have a half stop. The main blade does NOT have an opening snap. The main blade does NOT have a closing snap. The secondary blade does NOT have a half stop. The secondary blade does NOT have an opening snap. The secondary blade does NOT have a closing snap. This pocket knife is in VERY GOOD condition. This pocket knife did NOT require cleaning.

Yesterday morning, this souvenir(?) or tourist(?) 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. It also became the latest example to be added to my general, “foreign born”, pocket knife accumulation. I did not buy the group or lot of pocket knives to obtain this particular pocket knife. It is an UNBRANDED, one blade, one tang stamp, 3 1/4” closed (not including the loop or ring), souvenir(?) or tourist(?), pocket knife. There are NO maker stamps, NO maker etches, and NO maker markings, anywhere on this pocket knife. The country of origin is also unknown. However, I am 99.999% positive that it is from France. The main handle side says, "MERCI MAMAN" The other handle side says, “MERCI PAPA” The main blade does NOT have a half stop. The main blade does NOT have an opening snap. The main blade does NOT have a closing snap. Overall, this pocket knife is in POOR condition. This pocket knife did need some cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.
