KnifeMaker Comment by Dave Taylor on May 21, 2014 at 19:52: I grew up with Poll Parrot shoes and who else remembers the Brown Shoe Company, and Buster Brown shoes? Sure you do. There was a picture of Buster Brown and his dog Tige in every pair.

"I'm Buster Brown. I live in a shoe. Here's my dog Tige. He's in there too."

Bet ya remember the TV show on Saturday mornings too. With "Froggy the Gremlin".

Back in those days we could get a pair of high top boots with a knife pocket as part of the boot top.

Geez, I feel like a dinosaur.............. lol

KnifeMaker Comment by Dave Taylor on May 21, 2014 at 17:46: That reminded me of the Poll Parrot advertising jingle Poll used to sing.

So, anyone else remember it?

In Memoriam Comment by Robert Burris on May 21, 2014 at 15:33: Real neat, how old is it?

Comment by peter force on May 21, 2014 at 14:52: hey perry i have a few items myself -including knives- i have seen the tin clicker i think your talking about..

this is one of those pieces though i have never seen anywhere.. i have a few paper items like this.. shoe or tobacco related that cross into knives...and i cant find another.. also dont be fooled.. this is actually firm and could easily touch up a knife...or pencil... i need to get a pic of the knives along with this.. ill work on that.

Comment by perry coleman on May 21, 2014 at 14:34: Really cool Peter! I have several Poll Parrot items from my childhood, mainly a tin clicker and the plastic parrot egg I got when I was a kid, in the 1960s. But this sharpener is very cool and I have never seen one before.
