New here, but old to knife collecting

Kamagong,

I believe you are right on the handles. Thanks.
No one has ever seen this knife in the 20+ years I have had it, but me.
That's one of the great things about sharing, worldwide, you get some feedback.

Welcome Ray. Its always great to get new members, especially someone who has been in the game for quite a few years.

I have no doubt that you have a wealth of knowledge to share, as well as some great knives.

Glad to have you here...

Here are a few more Imperial knives
Top picture, bottom knife - single blade, circa 1930 -1936
top knife - equal end pen, circa 1936 - 1952.

The Barlow is circa 1930 -1936

Housesale & Flea market finds mainly.

Always looking for the vintage old knives, but at the time I was also trying to find different colors/patterns of the ever present, hollow metal handled, crimped fit, knives
that were manf., by the thousands, on a daily basis.
You know the ones I am talking about.
Mass produced and shipped.
Almost every youngster, and price conscious adult, had one in the 1940's,
50's, and 60's.
They weren't heirloom quality, but served a purpose.
Many today have torn or missing thin plastic handle covers, & are buggered up
The joy of the search is to find an unusual one in good condition.
