Hi All!

The tang stamp is hard to read but it ends in "& SILLIMAN".

The main blade is well worn but it's a nice solid well made knife.

Pretty interesting covers on that one, I don't know anything about that knife but I think you done good by snagging it.
 
It may have been Blish-Mize & Silliman Hardware Company. Atchison Kansas. Least a quick look at my Levine's reveals. Maybe try to check that full name for more info on it.

Cool knife...looks like a cattle knife pattern maybe but the covers are pretty different for sure.
 
Most unusual Ken and yet very appealling. Are the covers cel?
 
Great find!!! I agree with Joe "Cool knife...looks like a cattle knife pattern maybe but the covers are pretty different for sure"
Thinking out-loud I wonder if the covers are that bright stand out pattern on purpose so if it fell on the ground (as a working knife often does) it would be easy to find.
Dropped an Old Timer with those brown delrin handles one time ... I knew exactly where, down to an area about 4 yards x 4 yards but in rough brush country... it took a lot of finding.

Looks like a Blish Mize & Silliman Pocket Knife #43581 pyralin from the 1928 catalog p.1207;)
 
Thanks for the interest and the information everyone.
Thanks Gevonovich for looking it up.

The celluloid appears to be stable at this point but I will keep my eye on it for any evidence of out gassing.
I have several other celluloid handled knives I keep in a separate storage area just in case.

i really like Celluloid and have never seen that particular color combo.i've seen this pattern, it is similar to Boker butterscotch crystal.
awesome find.
you never know what is out there

Seems the design department back then was ahead of their time,as the handle looks like the style of modern art. Nice knife.
