Anyone Got Any Interesting Older Celluloid EOs?

Love seein these! All kinds, all makes and patterns. I personally think the Hammers are a little more interesting than a lot of the Imperials but strictly referring to the shells. Whether novelty or adverts, they all interest me!
 
No EOs,but I do have these two.
I love how the thin blades sharpen up.

-I ordered material for projects from this outfit off and on; in Queens, if I recall correctly.

Never got a knife for it :)

Thank you guys for showing them! I have collected these for years now and still realize I haven't begun to see everything yet.
 
The blade is still pretty full on that one, Perry! Nice one, and not a lot of shrinkage...
 
I have a small assortment of those Perry!







And by 'small' I mean diminutive!

 
Thank ya Glenn, Barry you have some nice ones there! That second one I've never seen before.

Perry, that one looks like it has abalone embedded in the celluloid. It's amazing to me that someone would take the time to produce these little mini's as they're built just like a full sized knife.
 
I just bought a nice unused Case Electrician from a buddy and he threw in some old Colonial and Imperials in the pkg for me (He is such a great guy!).

Anyway, this was in with them...can't make out the maker but it starts with "ORUC (illegible) KNIFE" in a semi circle with "co". in the middle and "NEW YORK' across the bottom. Scales are cracked and it been ground on but it has a cool little manicure blade on it. My camera is incapable of decent pix so this is what I have. Enjoy! :D

Thank you. :) That is the one that has "ORUC (illegible) KNIFE" stamped on it...it came with my Case.

Added: When I clean this up....are there things I should avoid on the celluloid? I will probably just use mineral oil and Flitz on the blades.
 
Let me make a suggestion to use some Birchwood Casey Gun Scrubber to clean out the inside liners with. Then blow some compressed air in it, add a little oil and you should be good to go. The celluloid is so old if it hasn't outgassed by now, chances are slim that it will. The gun scrubber won't hurt the knife or handles. You can find the gun scrubber at Academy Sports.
