A group of vintage folding pocket knives featuring a variety of traditional patterns and handle materials. The collection includes two pen knives with polished mother of pearl? handles, one featuring a white metal? shield-shaped inlay and the other showing characteristic iridescent chatoyancy. Also present are folders with cream-coloured synthetic? or bone? handles, including a large single-bladed knife and a swayback-style pen knife. One multi-blade folder features decorative ‘cracked ice’ celluloid? scales and white metal? bolsters. The knives are constructed with slipjoint mechanisms and steel blades, some showing two-blade configurations. The internal springs and blade spines on several examples exhibit dark oxidation and pitting. Visible tang stamps are not legible as names.
