Pocket Knife, Box, Tri-City Drilling (1968) Ltd., Gold, Black, Nail Care, The German Advertising Advantage Inc.Description
A 24 karat hard gold-plated pocket knife encased in a plastic holder branded to Tri-City Drilling (1968) Ltd and made by The German Advertising Advantage Inc. The pocket knife comes in a small white cardboard box. The lid of the box has a textured pattern and features a gold outline shaped like a rectangle with the corners rounded and inverted. Inside the outline on the bottom left is a small crest that is split diagonally into two colours; gold and white, with the gold side featuring white text, "T G" and the white side with gold text, "A A". The bottom right of the box features gold embossed text reading, "24 Karat hartvergoldet". The base of the box has the same textured pattern and holds a thin layer of cotton to protect the contents of the box. One corner of the box has been smashed and is dented inward. The pocket knife is small and is encased in a black plastic holder. The holder also contains a small pair of gold nail clippers. The clippers are unable to be removed as the ends of the clippers have a ring that keeps them from falling out of the holder. The clippers have etched text reading, "TRIM". The pocket knife includes three foldouts: a rounded blade, a nail file with a hooked tip, and a bottle opener. The bottle opener displays etched text at the base reading, "BASSETT U.S.A". The plastic holder has two black bolts on either end and a gold Tri-City logo in the centre; a double outlined oval sticker, featuring stylized text, "Tri-City" with the tail of the "y" creating a slanted rectangle. Below is gold text, "Drilling". A rectangular piece of paper featuring a white background and black text is placed inside the box. The top left of the paper features a small crest that is split diagonally into two colours; black and red, with the gold side featuring white text, "T G" and the white side with gold text, "A A". Next to the crest is black text reading, "The Germna Advertising Advantage Inc." The paper also contains information on the address, phone number and fax. A metal tag, oval-shaped with a hole on the left side, features orange, stylized text, "Tri-City" with the tail of the "y" creating a slanted rectangle displaying text, "DRILLING 1968 LTD."
