G'day, Its not often the "Distinguished Gentleman from 1946" comes along and for the original advert from 1946 to be available at the same time is amazing.
This is in minty condition including the original box and original yellow pajamas which is why its still minty after 60 odd years. As the advert says its solid 14K Gold and quite weighty. This is#2653 stamped on gold case so possibly a number made. Schrade blurb at that time "Orders are not solicited directly,but on request the name of a nearby Schrade-Walden dealer will be mailed you.
The blades open and shut like driving a Rolls Royce and at US$125 in 1946 you would have expected plenty of bang for your buck immediately post war.
I have taken quite a few photos so you can see Tang markings if you ever see one sitting in a pawn shop...grab it!
I've put it with some of its rarish Schrade Cut Co and S/Walden friends. Its not quite as weighty as its bigger brother the Cut Co Calendar from the late 1930's which is real heavy for its relative size. Hoo Roo.
