Advertising knives

[silenthunterstudios]

My grandfather always had a Pepsi or Coca Cola advertising knife in his pocket, he drove a soda delivery truck into retirement. I've seen quite a few advertising knives in my hauntings of old junk malls and flea markets. I've seen some really nice ones, even a Remington if I remember correctly. I'd like to see your advertising knives. Local companies, international, national, what have you. I'd also like to see the companies name that produced them. I seem to have seen quite a few Colonials and other smaller companies.

A second one showed up on the bay a while ago, identical in every way except the blade was stamped Ettrick. I had it but got sniped It's a wonderful old knife.

Lotta very cool knives here!
Here's one I have, but I have no idea who made it - no stamp on the blade. What is this style of "flip&slide" opener called? I've included a series of pics intended to illustrate how the knife opens.

Such cool knives, everyone. Especially love all those old advertising Barlows.

I think this is the only advertising knife I have right now. Just a little Swiss Army Classic from a company my dad worked for when I was a kid.

Gorgeous, and bears an uncanny resemblance to the modern GEC viper. Coincidence or was this the inspiration for the name and/or the knife?

Great thread, I love old advertising knives, some fantastic examples here :thumbup:

I need to take some new pics, (not least of the mint Hoover penknife I recently picked up ), but here's what I can find in my Photobucket account :thumbup:
