Antique (almost) OTF

[Flying Turtle]

Got this in the little town of Lloret de Mar, Spain in the summer of 1970. Was lucky enough to be touring Europe as a college kid. And we really were doing it, like the old book title, on about $5 a day. No luxuries- hostels, trains, hitchhiking, and bad food. Anyway, I saw this in a shop for about $2 and had to have it. It has Arcos stamped on the blade. Carried it back through JFK in my pocket. Of course, no metal detectors back then.

I'll give you a tenner for it :naughty:

to think pocket knives and pointy things were not weapons like nowadays

they must have tons of nailclippers and knitting needles at the airports
