I've stated that I inherited my father's collection. Well, this was in it, and I have NO idea where it came from. He had never shown it to me before. I now carry it. talk about a conversation piece.......
Where did it come from georgiansilver? have you seen others? Do you know anything about where/when it was made?
I bought it actually on a buying trip over in France.. it cost me about £3 and I sold it for much...much more... I assume they were made in France but prob in 20th Century.
They even have designer models: http://cgi.ebay.com/Abercrombie-Fitch-Eloi-France-5-Franc-Coin-Pocket-Knife_W0QQitemZ270385228674QQcmdZViewItemQQptZLH_DefaultDomain_0?hash=item3ef4372b82&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14&_trkparms=72%3A1205%7C66%3A2%7C65%3A12%7C39%3A1%7C240%3A1318%7C301%3A1%7C293%3A1%7C294%3A50 and some even have scissors. http://www.wwiiremembered.com/veteran_coin_knife_navy.html Nice Walker http://www.overstock.com/Sports-Toy...ar-Pocket-Knife-Key-Ring/3036216/product.html Wow ..these were even sold by the US MINT http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=25480
What a great conversation piece, It reminds me of a pocket watch I seen a while ago at the British Museum it was made from a Gold £5 piece :high5:
There is one on eBay made from a 1941 silver WLH. $9.95 - (3 Days left) I would post one of the pics, but would probably get in trouble. Item number: 320370083545
