It was warm enough today that I went into my spare bedroom and rummaged around a bit. And I found a box I had forgotten and the thieves missed.

Should I open it? :)

Sure. Let's see what it contains...

Treasure box?
 
I'll spread them out some.

What do you think? Is there an EDC in there?
 
Nice stuff. Should be something in there you could EDC. If not, let me know and I'll PM you my shipping address.
I like the TL 29's.
 
What a treasure. There are some fantastic knives in that collection. Some look like they were just minted. Wow.
My eyes go immediately to the Mop(MOTS?) scout. I don't think I've seen one like it.
The delrin TL-29 just grabbed my eyes. Who made it?
 
Quite a few BEAUTIFUL FOLDERS, I am glad that you had a NICE surprise finding them.
Thank You for Sharing Them With Us.
I hope that the thieves are caught with no cameras near by.
 
Now that's a very cool find Michael. I like the Tl-29's. The wooden one bottom left:thumbup:

Who made the capped Barlow- red scales?
Like others the camp knife is cool- but the slim light bone Jack with threaded Bolsters and the Jigged bone Stockman - what can you tell us about them please Michael?
 
Box o treasure for sure! Thanks for sharing. I'm also curious about the scout Mack already mentioned.

The MOTS camp utility is a Stag Ireland made by Weber in his JOWIKA factory there before Albert bought it.

I'll edit with the Delrin TL-29.

It is an Imperial. You may see them also marked Craftsman, Holub or Klein.

That one is special. A near factory condition TL-29 in light wood marked Schrade Cut Co. Walden N.Y. and it has a snap like a gator. Never used or sharpened. It has an elecric pencil etch on the backspring "PP&L CO." Pacific Power & Light Company is my best guess.

Imperial made these for Sears. I'll have to look up the date but I think 1949-50

The slim jack is an Imperial with plastic handles not bone. Late fifties without looking it up.

The stockman is a 3 1/4" Kingston, a sub brand Ulster started.

Thank you sir.
Are the scales on the Streamliner cell or something natural?
 
Only you would just find a box like that lying about. :p
 
Glad these were saved from the thieves by being inconspicuous Codger! Makes me ponder for a moment on packing some away in similar fashion, hidden in plain sight, so to say...

This one caught my eye the first few times around, and does still; thanks for the extra information.

"PP&L": any chance it's Pennsylvania Power & Light?

Digging the little jackkknife in red/black with the crown shield. Nice treasure box!

Quite possible Ma'm. 50-50 chance unless someone comes up with another like Pasadina, Pascagoula, Pensacola..... :D

The "Fonzie" knives! Heh! Yeah they had a whole line of "Tu-Tones" and they were quite popular at the time. Remind me of Nash Metropolitans.
