A couple of slipjoints from estate sale - what can you tell me?

Fellas - thanks for all the info. I think I will clean these knives up (but not too much) and use them (gently and occasionally). I'll take some photos with better camera and lighting when I get the chance. Anything I should do special to care for the scales? Paste wax, maybe?

Go to Walmart or somewhere similar and pick up some lemon oil and wipe the ebony scales down with a rag soaked in it. It will really make those scales pop.

Eta: its in the cleaning section. Used to clean/protect wood cabinets and furniture.

I would be over the moon in finding those two knives. What great knives- I LOVE the Coke Bottle and its beautiful Spear point blade - now that's a Swedge!
A very desirable Jack. Wonderful to look at.

Duncan, you've taken the words out of my mouth.
Those two are simply awesome! And the coke bottle, especially... WOW! Lucky finds, the stuff we all wish for! Thanks for sharing. :thumbup:
