Description
The listing, Vintage *BONE HANDLE* Remington Pocket Knife. 2"Master Blade/2nd blade snapped at Tang has ended.
This knife is beautiful! The second blade is snapped off but I'm sure a collector out there can get their hands on another blade fairly easy.
*Knife is compliant with all State Laws and Listia rules regarding blade length with a master blade length of 2 inches.*
I'm not a knife collector so I don't know much more than what has been described but I'm sure if you ask a question and I can't answer there is a collector checking this listing that would be kind enough to answer.
Thanks for checking this out. I have a whole box full of vintage knives to list so be sure to check my listings often. I also apologize to all the folks that were bidding on the Sabre I had listed but the rules are the rules and I was not aware that the 2 1/2 inch blade was breaking any of them. Hopefully this will make up for it.
Everyone into coins be sure to check my current listings. I just listed a 1912-D Lincoln Cent, A Full Horn Buffalo Nickel and a 1867 Shield Nickel with plenty more coins, currency, stamps and ~old stuff~ to list in the next week.
As far as I know it varies from State to State. In Arizona I can carry a loaded pistol in my back pocket without a permit, but I can't carry a pocket knife with a blade longer than 3 inches. In CA your firearm must be disassembled and the pieces kept in different places to even have it in your car, and the knife blade restriction is 2 inches. Apparently Californians don't have the right to bear arms.
can you tell me what the rules and laws are on knives ? what about switchblades ? is a one inch switchblade a no-no ?? would seem a little silly if it is. there a case in court here in maine right now. a one handed guy wants to be able to carry a switchblade. They are saying no. nuts
I'm not going to say anything here. I personaly think the laws are left so vague on pocket knives and are prosecuted on a case by case bases. Completely unfair and I don't agree with the reason I got as far as the CA Law on this from Listia. I am almost positive the way I read the law the only limit on a non-switchblade knife in Cali is a 3 inch limit on any blade in a public building. Otherwise you can carry a blade of any sort other than switchblade, cane knives, projectile blades... When my listing got pulled on the sabre it was because of CA Laws and I read every Penal Code that had the keyword blade, knife.... and that is all I found. Not me to cause a ruckus so for now I'll stick to under 2 inches. It's a shame because most of the vintage pocket knives I have to list are 2 1/2 " blades :( And there are a few nice pieces I know would do better than this one.
I try not to judge folks by what they drive. Not saying there's anything wrong with you doing it but someday I'd like to trade in my Hyundai for at least a convertible Audi or something. (recently divorced 41 year old male needs a toy) And I would hate to be judged for driving it :) Not saying your wrong, totally undersand your point.
I'm not an expert on anything. but I do keep my eyes open. I think Sanford is right, the world does love the made in USA label, and as their wealth goes up, so does the value of our collectables. Weapons, I think will always be close to our hearts. I think that is in our genes. My brothers wife inherited what many 30 years ago would have called a junk gun collection, 200 of them. Probably cost original collector a couple thousand tops. My brother sold all of them, over $300,000. I'm sure quality American made knives have similar rate of inflation. People that years ago were lowly junk dealers are now respected historic artifact dealers. Makes ya wonder. Well, you asked Tony.
Funny you should ask that Tony. I bought an old Harrington and Richardson 5 shot .32 Caliber Revolver a few months ago at an auction for 60 bucks, it works, and I place it's value at about 150 bucks.. It was patented in 1898 and my specific model was made between 1909 and 1925.
In 1909 it cost about 6 dollars , you could have purchased it with either 6 one dollar bills, or 6 silver dollars. In today's market you can still buy this gun with 6 silver dollars (valued at $30 each) , but you can barely buy 6 bullets for it. with 6 greenbacks.
I would say that the future of vintage knives (American Made) is safer than the greenback. :)
I heard they were speculating $48 on silver by the end of the year, it was only 34 when they said that, and you're right , it blew right past 40.
my prediction is silver at $50 within 10 weeks. i think that will be the glass ceiling that is tough to break. went threw $40 like nothing. More and more conspiracy people are hoarding metal. even here it is getting tough to buy. They can keep printing money. As hard as they try, they can't turn straw into gold.
we'll see. I say it continues to go up and the sky is the limit until we get close to the 2012 Presidential elections. I mentioned it in an earlier auction of mine and I think is Obama or another Democrat wins it can keep going up, if a Republican wins the metals start getting sold and the stock market starts going up and the dollar gets stronger all due to optimistic Conservative investors. just my uneducated theory on that :)
Don't know if anybody watching this one has also been watching my gold and silver auctions but things are deffinately getting crazy! silver closed at like $40.95. Imagine that, Silver went up about ten dollars in two weeks. WOW!!! Gold closed around $1476.00 too. Not to shabby. Maybe we'll see $1500 next week.
