This is a PRESTO double with jigged bone scales (handles). The knife was made by the Geo Schrade Knife Co of Bridgeport, CT most likely between 1940 and 1956. 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 JAN 30-40 MADE IN USA and the small blade is stamped G SCHRADE in an arch over KNIFE CO over B'PORT CT. The blades are mostly full and shiny with some of the original factory finish. There are some scratches and also some rust/pitted areas, mainly on the back of the small blade. Overall good blades. The Jigged bone scales are very attractive and in very nice condition with no flaws. The knife works well with both tips at, or near the liners when closed, Good snap, open fully with kickback on the small blade. Good lockup with very little movement. Both safeties work. Nice example of a vintage American PRESTO double switchblade.
