info on unusual knives

[mrdaviemac]

I am looking for any info and a possible value on the two unusual knives in the pics. One is a penny farthing set into a keyring with a 25mm long fold out blade. The other is a slide out blade with the only markings being 1950 stamped onto it. Any info and poss a value as I would like to sell these items.

Most odd, My mother had both of those in her effects when we cleared her house after she died and they went to a charity shop.

The farthing fruit knife if I remember correctly, was a give away from Kellogg, collect and send in ten Corn Flake tops type offer, to commemorate the end of the farthing in circulation.

The slide out has a locking button which moves a pin into detents so it may be locked closed, partly open and fully open. I always understood that it was a military issue to some Mediterranean country Greece, Portugal, Spain? and she picked it up in the street whilst on holiday.
