SCHRADE WALDEN NY #155 Scout Black Stagged vintage automatic knife

Vintage SCHRADE WALDEN pattern number 155 Scout Black jigged automatic knife made in Walden, NY sometime between 1946 and 1956. It measures 4 1/4 inches closed and 7 1/4" open with steel liners and bolsters and nickel silver plated button and safety. The clip blade is a tad short at 96% full, or better and shiny with non factory glazed finish and is stamped SCHRADE WALDEN NY on the tang. The black jigged synthetic scales (marketed as "Stagged") are in excellent condition with no shrinkage. Knife works great with blade tip deep and centered closed, strong snap and good lockup with about 1/16" up and down and slight side to side at the tip. Knife appears to have been professionally cleaned. Does rattle if shaken with blade open. Safety works. EX- condition.
