Beautiful salesman sample knife on a great old rare box. I love old boxes, paperwork, and any ephemera that compliments cutlery.
Nice letter opener example also.

Really nice knives, Eric!! Elusive in this condition!!

Does the "S" on those bolsters stand for "stunning" ?

Thanks guys for the kind words.
Here is a little older version of a double button by the "Press Button Knife Co." (circa 1893 to 1923) which was George Schrade's first entrance into the cutlery world.
Also shown is the original box. Note the patent number on the box and small blade.

I knew you had a time machine, Neal ! What a treat !!!! That pick bone and box are in the stratosphere

Thanks Blademan13, Waynorth, and Gev.

Here is a bit of an odd ball...
Handmade by Keen Kutter, maybe not so much according to the blade tang stamp.
This combination of names was used circa 1960 to 1965.
