Vintage "CCC" 13 inch picklock
I got this "CCC" because it is harder to find. There are many possibilities of importers for this tang stamp. This knife shows more age and wear than my other ones.

Even with more wear, that’s a nice one.

Thanks for the replies, everyone. It could be this. Established in 1903. They are still in business.

I know what you mean and I will not go there! We do not need to discuss that again. Check out my post in blade pictures.
Re: Vintage "CCC" 13 inch picklock
It may not be mint, but it sure is very good condition for its age.

I've been educated. I always thought it was Columbus Cutlery Company.
Re: Vintage "CCC" 13 inch picklock
It may have been CLEVELAND CUTLERY COMPANY.
Re: Vintage "CCC" 13 inch picklock
Thanks for the replies and thoughts. We will probably never know the true maker. The book, "Switchblades of Italy", states there are many possibilities for "CCC". The diameter of the handle is small and it is much slimmer than any other picklock I own.
Re: Vintage "CCC" 13 inch picklock
Notice how small the handle is on the "CCC" on the right.
