PRICE DROPS. I NEED THESE SOLD

I never thought I’d be selling these but in the last 2 weeks between home repair (heating system completely useless and replaced) and medical bills (dog and wife both had tumors) I am currently in a terrible financial hole and need to get rid of everything I don’t absolutely need.

As far as I’ve been able to learn, all of these are 1930-1940 era. I’ve tried to take clear pictures but I can send you more if you want. No rust on any of them, one of them you can actually still see “Kingston” printed on the blade.

I need these sold so make me an offer of you think it’s over priced.

Asking $75 each or would sell all 5 for $350

I NEED THESE SOLD SO PLEASE MAKE AN OFFER

The top knife is now sold, but the second knife from what I’ve been able to learn was a pre WW2 navy issue made by Camillus in ny.

Most of what I’ve learned about these came from this site:

ADDITIONAL INFO: The Navy General Utility Knife was made by a variety of companies during World War II including; Utica, Pal, Imperial, and probably Kingston, (a joint operation between Imperial and Ulster knife companies – see Pocket Knives of the United States Military by Michael Silvey; page 65 & 66). It amazes me that these knives with this beautiful Rogers bone word general issue item. Today I think they are among some of the most beautiful knife handles ever made!
