Ulster - Dwight Devine 3 5/8" Girl Scouts Knife First Model Near Mint in Box 1918-41

A near mint example of the first model Girl Scout knife made by the Dwight Devine Ulster company in Ellenville NY from the years 1918 to 1941. It features carbon steel blades, jigged bone hafts, brass liners and nickel bolsters, GSA shield and bail. 

This knife still has the lightly etched Girl Scouts logo on the main blade which has a slightly dulled factory edge. All other blades are with their original bright finish (NOT buffed). These are carbon steel and not stainless. Knife is in original green cardboard box with leather inset and original foil label on the top of box.

It's from the heyday of American knife making and was the first knife offered to the newly formed Girl Scouts. It's such a great find, and not only for a knife of its period.
