Odds and Ends

Here are an assortment of 75mm Victorinox. The first photo is of three-blade Accountants. The second is an assortment of one and two-blade knives.

Here's an old 85mm Wenger with the three-headed triangle marking and an ornate .800 fine silver handle.

Here's a special Wenger lab knife with a gold-plated tool for cutting glass tubing for stoichiometric chemical analysis, as well as other tools for working on lab equipment. This one came from Britain; Hewlett-Packard at one time offered a blue-handled version of this in the US.

This is a Wenger Ranger Mountaineer with translucent blue handles. Apparently only sold in Canada for a short time.

I like that cellidor with exposed rivets and bail.. i have one as well but not in nearly as good condition as yours. I Think the bail on mine is a bit different.

Never seen the pattern on that brass colored one before.. do you have a date on it?

Thanks for sharing BTW. Love threads like these.

The basket-weave with a bail? There are no markings on it. I believe its gold plated as its never tarnished. Glad you enjoyed the photos.

Here are the two versions of the Victorinox Stag Hunter, with the genuine stag handles on top and the imitation stag below. The quick way to tell them apart is the genuine stag scales are held on with brass rivets. The imitation stag is uncommon; the genuine stag is very rare.

Here's an early version of the Victorinox Tourist, with mother-of-pearl handles. Marked Elsener and Abercrombie & Fitch on the main blade. The pen blade isn't as rough as it appears; just caught the light wrong.

That's a beauty! I have a similar one but with horn scales (and 91mm, I guess yours is 84mm?) and it's one of my favorite vintage SAKs. The old openers are very nice.

The pearl one shown is 84mm. I also have an assortment of 84mm and 91mm horn, but nothing with the old-style can opener.
