Picked up two great switchblades plus i put a deposit on another (expensive) switchblade. A few months and i'll have it paid off so that i can post pics.
Both switchblades are above. Both are Edgemaster blades. The top knife actually has Tin handles. There is another one out there that i want with Brass handles. Haven't found one yet. In this photo it looks brassy though huh?? The pics below whow the tin clearly.

Got some new switchblades to add to my growing collection last week.
Bought these 2 from Mark Erickson, author of Antique American Switchblades, Identification and Value Guide.
I think I got good buys for the knives.
The top knife is a brown swirl that some call Root Beer color. It is a Shur-Snap knive and is identified on the tang as SHUR SNAP over Colonial over U.S.A. There are no other markings, the spring works well open and closing. It is 7 inches open with a 3.25 inch blade.
The second is a goldish jigged handles of some kind. Seems bone but I am not sure. This knife is identified on the tang as PRESS BUTTON over Knife Co. overWalden, N.Y. It measures 6 3/8ths open with a 2.75 inch blade. It's a fat knife. The handle is 7/8ths inch wide compared to the Shur Snap which is like 3/8ths.
