Wenger display board
on: September 02, 2023, 05:11:02 PM
A fellow on the other forum I frequent showed this Wenger display board:

https://www.merzantiques.com/product/m1131-very-interesting-and-unique-factory-display-board-with-27-swiss-army-knives/

After taking as close a look at it as I possibly could, it is my opinion that the board itself is probably genuine. However, I believe that someone acquired it empty and filled it with whatever knives he could scare up. A mix of dogleg and lobster claw can openers would seem to support my theory. But that's just conjecture; I'm far from expert when Wenger is concerned. What say the experts?

Some photos...

 Hi Dan,
      Figure that the display was in a store, right?  When they sell something, they replace whatever is an empty space with what their vendor ships them next time they order.  Mixed vintage tools in a store showcase is more usual than unusual.  Best wishes.  Gary

Why do people keep putting stickers in the scales, instead of the tools (where a little alcohol gets rid of the glue without ruinning anything) or in the panels where the knives are displayed?!

Makes perfect sense. Why didn't I think of that? :dunno:

I wondered that, too. Wenger scales seem to be more affected by alcohol that Victorinox scales.
