Joe DiMaggio's Grotto Souvenir Pocket Knife

This is a Joe DiMaggio "Joe Di Maggio's Grotto" Souvenir Pocket Knife. Joe DiMaggio opened a restaurant in 1936 called "Joe DiMaggio's Grotto" located in Fisherman's Wharf S.F. California. The knife was probably given away at the restaurant or sold locally as a souvenir. This Joe DiMaggio knife looks like it's from the 1940's, but it could have been made anywhere between 1936 through the 1950's By the Colonial Knife Company.

Colonial Knife Company got its start in 1919 when it's founder, Antonio Paolantonio returned from WWI after serving with the United States Calvary as a Black Smith. Antonio began making knives at 9 Calendar Street in Providence, Rhode Island. Antonio called his new company the "A. Paolantonio Cutlery Company." Over the years the business grew and in 1926 Antonio changed the company name to Colonial Knife Company, Inc.
