Complete Set of 12 Series I Great American Story Knives by Boker Tree Brand Knives. The series began in 1974 and continued through 1976 and were made for Boker by J. Wiss & Sons. Each one is in the original box, in the original plastic pouch and also with 3 of the original store counter top displays that initially contained 6 each of one of the knives. The displays has a cut-out lid that folded up when the lid was raised and tucked into the back of the box and there is a little wear and small tears at that area of each. Some of the knives appear to have never been removed from the plastic. Individual knife boxes are red, white and blue and show the subject matter of that knife on the lid. The knives have bone handles with brass liners and nickel silver bolsters.
