Nice old PRESTO double switchblade with marine pearl celluloid scales with advertising for the COLUMBIAN STEEL TANK Co. KANSAS CITY USA on the front and TANKS FOR THE WORLD on the back. Made by the George Schrade Knife Co of Bridgeport, CT in the 1940s or early 50s. It measures 3 3/8" closed and just over 7 inches with both blades open and has brass liners. The blades are mostly full and shiny with some light scratches and some light peppering with one pitted spot. Looks like they have been lightly cleaned. The scales are in good condition with one hairline crack by the button on the back side. The knife works well with the tip of the small blade peeking just a bit when closed. Both blades open fully and lock when the buttons are pressed. No kickback. Good lockup with just a little movement on each blade. Both safeties work. Nice old American double switchblade.
