Vintage Hartenstiene’s Catering Pocket Knife – Colonial Cutlery (1950s-60s)
This vintage two-blade pocket knife boasts a unique advertising design for Hartenstiene’s Catering Service in Pottstown, Pennsylvania. Manufactured by Colonial Cutlery in Providence, Rhode Island, this collectible piece likely dates back to the 1950s or 1960s. When fully extended, the knife measures 5 1/2 inches in length with blades measuring 2 1/2 inches and 1 1/2 inches respectively. The side panels feature simulated mother-of-pearl slabs adding a touch of elegance. Both blades exhibit mild patina consistent with age and have undergone amateur sharpening, showing signs of previous use. Despite this, both blades remain intact without bends or chips and function smoothly with a satisfying snap. Don’t miss the opportunity to own this piece of Americana – see photos for details.
