Lot of 2 Vintage Imperial Providence RI Pearl 1&2-Blade Pocket Knives 1930-1936 For Sale

This is a set of 2 classic vintage Imperial one and two-blade pocket knives made in Providence, Rhode Island, featuring the desirable mother of pearl handle scales. Imperial Knife Company was one of America's largest producers of everyday carry pocket knives for much of the 20th century, and this jack-style trapper pattern is a great example of their mid-century production with nickel silver bolsters and a stamped shield inlay on the front scale on both knives.

The larger 5.75” knife, 2.25” blade, carries a large clip-style main blade paired with a smaller secondary pen blade, both pull-out nail nick openers on a traditional slip-joint frame with solid backsprings. The smaller 3.5” knife, 1.25” blade, carries a small clip-style pen blade.
