Description: This is a very rare, beautiful vintage 2-blade balloon 1/2 whittler pattern knife manufactured by WATERVILLE, CONN. Based on the tang stamp, it was produced 1890 to 1913 only. It measures 3"in the closed position. All 3 blades are VERY NEAR FULL, it has been used. It has NEVER BEEN cleaned and BOTH blades do sit in the RIGHT positions open and closed. Both blades also have REALLY GOOD snap opening and closing all tight and right! The main blade tang is stamped WATERVILLE CUTLERY CO. The handles are beautiful jigged Peachseed bone with a couple dark places and very small chips with steel liners and steel pins, RIGHT AND TIGHT! It has a shiny nickel silver pinned, (not glued like these days) bar shield and with beautiful shiny nickel silver front and rear bolsters, tight and right! This is a very nice and tight vintage made 2 blade balloon 1/2 whittler. THIS 100 - PLUS YEAR-OLD knife would be great for any collection. Please let me know if you have any questions and thank you for looking. Also check out my other nice knives I do list daily Winchester, Remington, Boker, Case, Kabar, Queen, Puma and many more be sure to check back often.
