Jan, I think we both need to go shopping with John!

Here is another one I found.  This is an Original Swiss Army Tinker.

I found it at an Estate sale. Paid a whopping $5 for it, including the box and instruction sheet.  Note the file on the square screwdriver, first used on Victorinox knives in 1952. Main blade reads. Victorinox – Switzerland- Stainless- Rostfrei on one side and Victoria- Officeir Suise-and an image of the Swiss crossbow on the opposite side. Note also the small cross and the word PAT on recently patented can opener/screwdriver. Note there is no key ring, toothpick or tweezers. The cap lifter is sharpened on the inside curve and is designed to cut twine.  When you put all the little clues together, the knife was made sometime between 1952-56.  The File on the Phillips Screw driver is the big clue!

As you can tell, the knife is mint, in the box with papers
