hi, i ran across a mint set of a boy scout set of a fork,spoon,and knife with the knife stamped imperial than under stainless with usa down the side. I dont really collect this but for 5 bucks i bought it.Since ive been following this site i didnt know schrade made these and are they very collectible, by the way they all snap together with spoon on bottom than fork ,than knife with all 3 an official stamp of the boy scouts on the handle.what years were these made,i cant get any pics tonite, maybe tomorrow,thanks for any information.

1) Some people collect anything BSA
2) Some people collect Schrades and include Imperials in that definition
3) I'm sure someone specializes in everything Imperial, but it is not common.
4) Even for regular use, this style is not as common and people would pick it up for that alone.

Is is collectible? Depends on who you ask. Regardless, I would consider the set a nice find. These usually came with a plastic or vinyl snap sheath that held all the utensils. Any sign of it?

Hey Trent, those might be vintage Hoffmeister utensils, you never know.

Here is a different set, folding not nesting (slot knife). I think Little Debbie was the original owner of these.

I wonder what she did with the spoon?
