Shadow Pattern Jack

Post by timber22 »

I've had a number of Colonial knives, but not one quite like this one. Haven't cleaned it at all yet; this is as-found. I've seen this style in smaller knives with advertising. This one is about 3-3/4" long; no bolsters, no advertising. Main blade has Colonial over Prov USA. Secondary has USA. I know it's not easy to determine the age of Colonials due to no real tang stamp variations/records. But does anyone in this forum have an educated opinion on an approximate time frame on this one? Thanks.
