I WILL NOW BE LISTING APPROX. THREE DOZEN VINTAGE-TO-ANTIQUE KNIVES, ALL FROM ONE LONG TIME COLLECTION OF A MAN THAT I WAS PLEASED TO HAVE MET AND INTERACTED WITH ON A REGULAR BASIS (MORE PROFESSIONAL, THAN FRIENDLY, BUT HE WAS A GREAT MAN AND WAS LOVED BY ALL).
THESE WILL INCLUDE QUITE A FEW ADVERTISING KNIVES, POCKET, FIXED BLADE, LETTER OPENERS WITH BLADES, FISH KNIVES, TINY KNIVES AND MORE, SO PLEASE CHECK BACK OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF DAYS AS I STRIVE TO COMPLETE ALL OF THESE LISTINGS IN GOOD TIME.
THESE NEXT SEVEN LOTS ALL HAVE VARIETIES OF LETTER OPENERS, INCLUDING FOUR THAT I ACQUIRED FROM A SEPARATE SOURCE FROM THOSE MENTIONED ABOVE (LOTS #6 & 7).
HERE IS AN INTERESTING VINTAGE LETTER OPENER THAT MEASURES APPROX. 7 3/8" LONG AND WHICH WAS MADE BOTH FOR THE ADVERTISING OF "TUMS" ANTACIDS, AND FOR COUNTING OUT AND DISPENSING MEDICINES (NOTE THE SHAPE OF THE BLADE).  THAT BLADE IS MARKED "STAINLESS" AND THE BLADE ON THE KNIFE IS MARKED AND SIGNED "ULSTER, MADE IN USA."
PLEASE TAKE NOTE THAT THERE IS SOMETHING ON BOTH SIDES OF THE KNIFE'S BLADE.  AT FIRST I THOUGHT THAT IT WAS JUST EXCESS OIL, LEFT ON IT TO LUBRICATE THE BLADE AND TO KEEP IT FROM RUSTING.  HOWEVER, IT'S ACTUALLY DRY.  I'M ALMOST POSITIVE SOMETHING LIKE "GOOF-OFF" WILL REMOVE IT, BUT I'LL LEAVE THAT FOR THE CAREFUL HANDS (AND KNOWLEDGE) OF THE NEW OWNER.
THE BLADE ON THE KNIFE HAS SOLID LOCKS IN THE MID AND FULLY OPEN PLACES, PLUS IT CLOSES TIGHTLY (AND THERE IS NO "WIGGLE" IN THE BLADE).  ALSO, THE GRAPHICS ON THE HANDLE (FOR THE TUMS ADVERTISEMENT) HAVE WORN DOWN A LITTLE BIT.  EVEN SO, THE WHOLE OF THE OPENER SHOWS MINOR WEAR AND IS IN VERY GOOD CONDITION, OVERALL.
THE PICTURES ARE TO BE CONSIDERED AS PART OF THE DESCRIPTION
.  PLEASE REVIEW THEM FOR A BETTER IDEA OF VARIETY AND CONDITION, AND I WOULD BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ANY QUESTIONS YOU MIGHT HAVE.  ENJOY!
SHIPPING WILL BE
.50 INSURED USPS FIRST CLASS
, AND I WOULD BE MORE THAN WILLING TO COMBINE SHIPPING
.
I DON'T OFFER A RETURN POLICY, BUT, I WILL STAND BEHIND MY LISTINGS.  IF I MAKE A MISTAKE ON MY LISTING, OR I MISUNDERSTAND AN ITEM OR MISS A RELEVANT FLAW ON THE ITEMS UP FOR BID, I WILL DO ANYTHING IN MY POWER TO MAKE THINGS RIGHT FOR THE BUYER, SO BID WITH CONFIDENCE!!!
THANKS FOR LOOKING!
