This is a PRESTO double with Candystripe celluloid scales (handles). The knife was made by the Geo Schrade Knife Co of Bridgeport, CT most likely between 1929 and 1940. It's the only size double made by the company and it measures 3 3/8" closed and 7 1/8" open with brass liners. Main blade is stamped PRESTO PAT PEND_G and the small blade is stamped G SCHRADE in an arch over B'PORT CT. The blades are mostly full and shiny and have been nicely cleaned at some point. The candystripe celluloid scales are in great condition with no cracks, or chips. The knife works well with both tips at, or below the liners when closed, Good snap, open fully with no kickback and good lockup with very little movement. Both safeties work. Really nice example of a vintage American PRESTO double switchblade.
