arch stamp Colonial Baseball Bat

Post by bkazz5 »

I am not a Colonial expert but I do not recall seeing a Colonial arch stamp over Knife Co. Neat old knife with a baseball emblem on both sides that says Official League Ball. What's the date range on this one?

I believe you have a very early model there but still seeing if I can find a match.
Arched Colonial over Knife Co is a valid stamp (predating arched Colonial over Providence) but the examples I see also have made in USA.

Cool knife !
