Pearls and Gold
Earlier today I went hunting for knives at a couple of Tuscola, IL antique stores. Found these 3 and a couple more I will show later. The 2 MOP knives were $20 apiece, and the Gold plated one $15. All 3 in minty condition. The MOP's aren't real old, but the gold plated one certainly is.
1-Bear MGC MOP Executive Lockback -3 1/8" closed--5 dot--1995??
2-Remington MOP Sowbelly Stockman-3 3/4" closed-Part of the Remington MOP Collectors Series
3-Imperial gold plated watch fob knife--circa late 1920's
Not to bad for $55, I think--

Small correction-- The Imperial knife was sold to me as gold plated--- Broke out my magnifying glass and it is marked 14K gold filled !! Which makes me very happy, because gold filled is much more valuable, as it actually has a layer of 14K gold bonded to the metal underneath-YAY !!

BTW, the gold fill work was done by M.S. Co., established in 1913 and still in business-- FYI, the fact that it is 14k gold filled makes a huge difference than gold plated as sold to me-- 14K gold filled has literally 100% more gold than the same item if gold plated --- SCORE!!
