Vintage SNAPPY Mini Fishtail (not keychain) Yellow swirl automatic knife made by the Colonial Knife Co of Providence RI in the late 1940s/early 50s and was designated the model #1200. It's a mini fishtail knife that measures 2 5/8" closed and just under 4 3/8" open with brass liners. Note, unlike most Snappy knives this is NOT a keychain knife. No shackle for chain and no holes for shackle. The blade is stamped SNAPPY COLONIAL PROV USA and is full with most of the original factory finish on the backside and front has a little patina and diagonal scratches from sharpening. The Yellow swirl brown synthetic scales are in very nice condition with no cracks. The knife works great with the blade tip seating deep, good snap and good lockup with less than 1/8" up and down at the tip. Nice example of an early Snappy fishtail (non keychain) switchblade. Much harder to find than the keychain model. Safety works. VG+ condition.
