Cute little 1950s Imperial keychain switchblade with Blue pearl Green swirl celluloid wrapped handles. The knife was made by the Imperial Knife Co of Providence, RI in the 50s and was designated the model JM96PB. It was marketed as the Jackomatic Jr and was sold on display cards that held 12 knives. It came with a beaded chain to attach keys, etc. The knife measures 2.25 inches closed and 3.75 inches open with brass liners. The blade is stamped IMPERIAL USA with two patent numbers on the back. The blade is full and shiny with nearly all of the original factory finish with a little spotting. Beautiful blade. The Blue pearl Green swirl celluloid scales are in very nice condition with a little shrinkage. The knife works well with the blade tip sitting deep, opens fully and better than average lockup. Safety works. These are much harder to find in these more interesting colors made in the early 50s and a lot of fun to collect!
