Normally those sell on Ebay for an insane amount. Even when they are in bad shape they get a lot. That one looks pretty prefect, those scales rarely make it this long without getting pretty messed up. If you relisted it as an auction, it would easily go to $250. That's not necessarily to say it is worth that much but Ebay would think it is.
Anyways, it is American. I think from the 40s or 50s.

Awesome! I paid $100 and got free shipping.. It was a buy it now so I kinda freaked and grabbed it lol! I’ve been looking for a yellow hammer brand automatic kinda like the one in my profile picture... “the one greaser Greg is flashing” but saw this instead. The blade has a few scratches but no rust or real damage so I knew it had to be a good deal. It was only up for a couple minutes before I snagged it. I had to have been the first guy to see it!JimBrown257 wrote:Normally those sell on Ebay for an insane amount. Even when they are in bad shape they get a lot.

It looks nice next to my rizzutos so I think I’m going to figure out a good way to display them all together with some of my old 40’s - 60’s skull rings and other novelty items. I think they will all look good in a mid sized countertop curio cabinet.. I don’t really know. I’m not going to use it or play with it that’s for sure... I’m kinda the type of person that likes to look and not touch. Maybe I can find more of them, that would be cool!Peteymcsweety wrote:Very nice what do you plan to do with it now.?

I think the ones Freaknives are selling on the shur-snap advertising board aren’t automatics they look to be newer models too...Peteymcsweety wrote:https://freaknives.com/shop?olsPage=products

$60 for that Ganzo, I'd sell you the same knife for $25 shippedPeteymcsweety wrote:https://freaknives.com/shop?olsPage=products
. A leverletto for $45, that looks like a DH Gate special. T shirt price isn't bad though.

A lot of their stuff is fake and over priced.

A Microtec Leverletto would be something to see.
