This is an early switchblade known as the button in the bolster with folding guard. The Press Button Knife Co, in Walden, NY, made this knife. It is 8 ¼ inches long when opened, the blade is 3 ½ inches and the knife is 4 7/8 inches long when closed. The bolsters are made of German silver and liners are steel and the handles are real jigged brown picked-bone, there are no cracks or chips on these handles. This is a real good example of early American craftsmen.

This is a real good example of early American craftsmen, I only wish these knives could talk sometimes.
