I also have one of these knives that belonged to my deceased father, who was a druggist and owned a drug store. I believe it to be a gift for pharmacists from a drug company. This is speculation on my part. I would further speculate that it would be from the 1950's or early 1960's. I'm quite certain it wouldn't have been a knife for sale to the general public. I remember it being in my father's dresser drawer when I was a young child and I was born in 1957.I am interested in any information about this knife (purpose, name, model number, dating, etc.)
I was curious if you followed up on this? I have one as well, shown in another new thread. I was kindly referred back to this thread is why I have awakened it.I see what you are saying. Maybe contact Larry (lrv) and see if he can find the pattern in the scanned archives?
