Ambassador Mini Knife Imitation Pearl Paducah Kentucky Advertiser 1950s PK235

Item Description                                 

Good old Seat Cover Jim Shoulders from nearby Paducah, Kentucky, handed these classy little imitation pearl miniature advertising knives some time, by our estimate, in the 1950s, in his early years in business. He is, we are pleased to report, live, well, and thriving. The knife itself bears the Ambassador Tang stamp, a Colonial Cutlery affiliate launched in 1951. Imitation pearl is inlaid inside the recessed liner frames, and there is slight drawing at their edges. Toning due to aging is a plus in our opinion, not a detraction. This little knife’s detraction is light rust spots on the top area of its blade, the exposed portion when it was closed; we still, however, rate the blade at 85 to 90 percent finishwise, and it has not been sharpened or used that we can tell. Overall length closed, not including lanyard ring, is only 1 ¾ inches, and the spear pattern blade measures 1 5/16 from heel to point. 

Own this fine old Paducah relic and remember good old Jim     for only           $ 26.00.
