6.US
General's M-1 bayonet letter openers. These belonged to
General , who's cattaraugas fighting knife I sold earlier.
Two different for 2 different divisions he served with
during his long career (1935-1974) He became a Major General
in 1967, so I would date these between 1967 and 1974.
Bayonet is chromed, with emblem on them, one side engraved
with his name, rank, the other with the unit. The grips are
plastic, made to look like wood. They are about 7" or 8"
long. They are perfect in the box. Each is $120 SALE! $79
each.

cigs still in it! Excellent condition. $50, SALE! $30 the
second is a 1950s? empty pack of "Eisenhower for President"
cigarettes. Pack is ripped, but mostly intact. Very scarce.
