An assortment of vintage folding pocket knives featuring various handle materials and blade configurations. The collection includes examples with iridescent mother-of-pearl? scales, cream-coloured celluloid? handles with ‘cracked ice’ effects, and a slim folder with translucent greenish-yellow celluloid? handles. Several items feature nickel-silver? or steel bolsters and brass liners. One multi-blade pen knife features an oval mother-of-pearl? inlay, while others possess shield-shaped escutcheons. The blades vary from single folders to multi-tool configurations including corkscrews and nail files. One example bears a partial tang stamp reading SHEFFIELD, identifying it as a product of the English cutlery trade. Other knives possess illegible tang stamps which appear as darkened, corroded characters that cannot be definitively transcribed.
