Antique RISQUE Handle Pocket Knives ADULTS ONLY
Posted: Sat Jun 25, 2011 9:40 pm
I just purchased a group of knives from a gent locally in Rhode Island, included were quite a few knives from Imperial, Colonial, and other local RI companies. See my other posts for a lot more older Imperial, Craftsman, Camillus, etc. knives.
This is a lot of four knives made by the long defunct Federal Knife Co of Johnston RI. These go back to the 1940's. Three jack patterns at 3-1/2" closed, two with the JOHNSTON USA tang stamp and one with THORNTON. Unused to lightly used condition but stained. One toothpick 4-1/4" closed, similar condition. All four have some shrinkage to the clear celluloid but the pictures are clear. One of the jacks has a crack across the lower handle pin.
$60 shipped, insurance extra and optional.
