Hey Guys, Here's a display item not many have seen. This measures 19"s wide by 14 1/2"s high. The blade measures 5"s long and the thumb moves to press the button to release the blade. It is not a functional Presto. It is all mounted on an 8" ring inside which passes through an electro magnet that moves 110 degrees.
I have only displayed it at two shows in Conn. This is a one and only. I found it in a shed behind my grandfathers house about 40 years ago. BTW. NFS.

Neat! Don't most of us wish we could travel back in time and preserve a lot of these artifacts? Who of us hasn't dreamed of finding dated salesman's rolls full of knives too? Is there a copyright or printing date on this one? Some of my Imperial countertop displays do have them in tiny letters in the margins.
 
Very interesting display. Check the spelling of craftsman, you flipped a couple of letters.
 
I would like to see it operate as I would with this demonstration unit:

I would be afraid to plug it in. I would hate to see it go up in a puff of smoke. I might be able to operate it manually.
 
William that's VERY cool, never seen anything like it! :thumbup:
