My wife's mother passed away in 1971 and she inherited her mother's sewing box. Hidden away in the box was this little single blade, retractable razor knife. It was never used. 

The knife, as you see it, is either retracted or fully extended. It has four intermediate locking positions. It was made as an advertising item for the Howe Scale Co. which has made balance-beam, precision scales for industry and laboratories since the mid-1800s. This knife must have been a give-away for a warehouseman or somesuch, to open boxes or cut strings. It is lightweight and slips nicely into a pocket.

WYSISYG. 

We are now well over 80 and need to downsize before my heirs have to do it for us.

If you get more than one of my listings, I will combine shipping and fees.

Thanks for looking and good luck!

------------------And now, the not so "fine print"------------------------

Payment is expected within 5 days. Shipping is the following business day, which means that, other than on a Sunday or legal US holiday, shipping is normally done the day after I receive your payment. If I receive it by 9:30am, I can sometimes get it out the same day.  

All who pay on time are provided with excellent feedback at the time of payment. If you are happy with your item, I would appreciate the same.
