Antique Press Button Knife Co medium double with mother of pearl handles (scales). The knife was made in Walden, NY sometime between 1904 and 1910. It was designated the model #105 and measures 3 3/8" closed and 6 13/16 inches with both blades open and has brass liners. It is the middle one of three sizes of switchblade doubles made by the company. The blades are both mostly full with light patina, a little peppering and some spotting. Both blades are marked PRESS BUTTON KNIFE CO WALDEN NY on the fronts and on the back of the small tang US PAT 470605 and the back of the large blade tang marked PATENT APPLIED FOR. Most likely made around the time that they stopped making double switchblades with safeties. The Mother of Pearl scales are in excellent condition with no cracks and lots of Luster. The knife works great with both blade tips below the liners closed, good snap and good lockup with just a tiny bit of movement on each blade open. Kickback on small blade as most of these do Does not rattle if shaken with blade open. EX- condition.
