Colonial Novelty knife

Post by Chickasaw1 »

This is my wife’s knife from her dad who passed in 2019, who had Bond Auto Parts in Broken Bow , Ok. I am guessing this knife is from early to mid 70’s.

Nice, but I think it's older than the 70's. I've seen them with 4 digit phone numbers which could be back in the fifties. Don't know how long they produced that pattern. Just my humble opinion, I'm no authority. Maybe someone here has an old Colonial catalog. Good luck with it. J.O'.

In the 60’s, we only had to dial the last 4 numbers to make a call.
