    This knife was breaking down from the handle material that was yellow imitation pearl....now it is re-handled in Ivory.......It was gassing and rusting the metal .......made between 1920-1940.....took a long time....had it probably 20 years ...........then Whammy.............so keep an eye out for all your celluloids and plastics...........

    My cousin that is rehandling a few of our knives....has a theory about the gassing...in that it might not be the celluloid or plastic by it self....it might be the combination of the Glue that was used  with them  during construction,...says the worst decay is associated with the glue areas ........just a thought.....
