Press Button Knife Co medium Sterling Silver Satyr double switchblade

Press Button Knife Co Sterling Silver double automatic knife featuring a Satyr and elaborate designs. These are often mis-referred to by collectors as "Old Man Winter" because the Satyr's beard and the connecting design pattern make it look like an old man blowing cold air. This knife was made in Walden NY sometime between 1892 and 1923 and has nickel silver liners. The blades both have loss from sharpening and have been cleaned to a shiny finish. Both blades are marked PRESS BUTTON KNIFE CO WALDEN NY on the fronts and the small is marked US PAT 470605 on the back. The Sterling Silver marked scales are in very nice condition with a little pocket wear. The knife works well. The small blade peeks a bit and large blade tip seats well when closed. Both blades open fully when buttons pressed. Small blade kicks back as most do. Both blades lock open with some movement each way, but average for a 100+ year old double switchblade. Beautiful old Sterling PBKC Satyr double, that gracefully shows the years of use. VG- condition.
