While at the huge, biannual antique event in Warrenton, TX, I found this Super Automatic. It’s in great condition!

Looks good, used to get those for a little under $20 a dozen and was lucky if half of them worked. Those days are long gone. That was wholesale price, a friend that had a gun shop ordered them and I sold the working ones for $10 each at the factory I was working at. Close to 30 years ago.

Blue is hard to find! Bell Metal Co k 108.
Sammy these are the better ones. The importer never sold them for less than $6 each when you bought a gross. Perhaps you're thinking of the cheaper ones?

The ones I had were camo colored and definitely were cheape. Sold them for $5 each and felt kinda guilty about it.

Re: Recent find
There were a few brands that made them with the camo handles. They are all cheap but the Bell Metal ones were the best of the bunch.

Are the Super Stilletos with pinned bolsters older than the ones without pins?

Re: Recent find
Sweet little novelty piece, indeed. And in amazing condition. A super cool find, congrats!! I still have my Super Stiletto (in red) that I brought back from Tijuana in my shoe back in the mid to late 80s. I found a street vendor there with all sorts of these knives almost immediately coming off the walkover bridge. Ever since then, I have kicked myself for only buying the one model. There's just so much nostalgia there. I've said it before but I will get to it and post some pics of mine here once I'm a little less busy. I also have an EdgeCo lever-lock in brass and wood that I bought around the same time. I guess you could call it a "kit", but it was just a knife with a drop-in spring tossed in the box.
