A few knives to celebrate Canada's 145 birthday.
This little knife was made by Boker in 1907 to commerorate the 40th anniversary of the founding of Canada. The sterling silver scales depict the 9 provincial shields as they existed at the time. Some shields have changed in design since then. They are arranged from left to right in order of joining the confederation (photo 1). Saskcatchewan and Alberta being the most recent additions (1905) and, of course, it would be quite sometime before Newfoundland and Labrador became the 10th province in 1949.
This Pal Brand Canadian Souvenir knife dates from circa 1924-1939 according to Goins'
