I loaded up on the big 2020 Mexico find of new old stock and now having second thoughts. A friend also acquired seven. Not sure if the instruction wrappers are worth anything.

Looks like you found some lost treasures.

Depends on what your expectations and plans are for the items you bought. Are you a collector or a “flipper”? The papers have value to some collectors as knife ephemera. You can look on eBay sold listings to find how much the papers are worth but I wouldn’t plan my next vacation around the proceeds. :lol: Having the boxes and papers with the knives doesn’t hurt for sure and may be added incentive to some collectors.

Looks like a pretty good haul to me. I'll take one of those "springer" stamped leverlocks off your hands :D

Hey John! Would you please post more pictures of the knife in the top picture, far left row, top knife with the oddly shaped bolsters! Thx! ::handshake:: 8)

Thanks a bunch John! ::handshake:: From your first picture the knife I requested looked different than what it actually is, perhaps because the bottom bolster was hidden, but I see now it's similar to the others but I appreciate your efforts all the same! 8)
