This fun set of three vintage gumball toy knives includes miniature novelty pocket knives attached to a small ball chain. Each piece features a unique design: one shaped like a pistol in gold-tone metal, one in bright green plastic, and one in yellow plastic.
Marked “Hong Kong,” these miniature pocket knives date to the 1950s–1960s and were popular novelty prizes found in vending machines or five-and-dime stores. While the blades are non-functional and made for display, they remain a nostalgic nod to mid-century collectibles.
Each knife opens and closes, showing light wear and patina from age. A perfect addition for collectors of vintage gumball prizes, miniatures, or novelty keychains.
