Vintage Perry & Co Shadow Pocket Knife – 2-Blade Slipjoint – c. 1910–1940

A slim and classic shadow pattern pocket knife marked Perry & Co, fitted with two carbon steel blades.

This "shadow pattern" type – without visible bolsters – was widely produced in the early 20th century. The blades show natural patina consistent with their age, and the knife has the solid, traditional slipjoint construction characteristic of early European pocket knives.

The dark scales are likely made from early plastic (celluloid), a commonly used material in the period 1910–1940. Both blades are intact, and the mechanism functions correctly.

An honest piece of functional history, suitable for collectors of early 20th-century pocket knives or enthusiasts of classic gentleman’s knives.
