Holley Knife Catalog 1904

This is a Holley Manufacturing Company knife catalog from 1904. The history of the company started in 1833. Holley made high quality knives and for a number of years, enjoyed good business. Hollye's market share began to dwindle as newer and more modernized manufacturing began to compete. The firm continued to make knives in a much smaller volume until 1930, when it ceased production.

Ted Dowell Funny Folder

This is a Ted Dowell (1929-2012) Funny Folder. This folder is about 7.5 inches when open and about 4.5 inches when closed. This knife was made around 1985, it will open either way. The TD logo is on the pin, I think the blade is made of 440C stainless steel, but I’m not sure. The handles are made of Micarta.
