Ethan 1953
Picked up a nice Ethan recently... I love that flat short safety.

Re: Ethan 1953
GREAT find Mike! Sure don't see many of those! Congrats! So, that's another one they used brass for the pivot pin instead of steel. What a beauty!

Re: Ethan 1953
Wow , great score! I really like that the year is stamped on tang , not sure if I've ever seen that

What does that book in the background say about this stamp?

Re: Ethan 1953
That one looks almost identical to an IMCO that I own. I think Ethan 1953 was a New York City import and that NYC companies stopped importing picklocks in 1953?

Re: Ethan 1953
All I know is what’s in the book. Thanks guys, this one is a keeper.
Chris.. good eye and thanks for pointing out the brass pivot. I hadn’t even noticed

Thats a great Ethan you have found.I have never seen a date marked example before either
Lovely looking knife sleek ,lines and great horn and that safety is just cool ,almost as big as the button.
Congratulations on your score mate.

Very cool stamp, and I love the horn. That thing's older than I am, and I ain't no spring chicken.
