Of course I am talking about a knife!
A few days ago on one of our rare cool days this summer,I went up into our unfinished attic to complete some electrical wiring for a light I had installed on our patio.As I started back out I noticed the glint of metal next to one of the ceiling joists.Checking it out I found a weird looking little folding knife.Not thinking much about it,I brought it in the house and threw it in my desk drawer and forgot about it.
Yesterday I was looking for a paper clip and ran accross it again.Checking it closer I found that it was marked "Case".Further on-line research revealed that in was made in about 1910-and was a fairly rare pattern!
My house was built in about 1930.My guess is at sometime in the past a previous owner lost it while crawling around in the attic.It is much to hot now,but this winter I will be checking every inch of the attic out!
