McGovern Shriver Pocketknife

Submitted by Elizabeth:
I was wondering if I could attempt to get an estimate on AppraisalBuddy.com for a couple of pieces of political memorabilia that I have. The items are two knives from the 1972 election.

Both knives are for McGovern. One says "McGovern for President" and "Shriver for Vice President" on the front; the other says "McGovern for President" and "Eagleton for Vice President" on the front (with Vote Democratic in 1972 in between the names on both knives). The backs both say "Vote Democratic '72" and both have a small caricature of McGovern, but on one the other small caricature is Shriver, and on the other it is Eagleton. Both knives are in good condition, and both have two blades. The Shriver knife is near perfect; the Eagleton knife has a small amount of rust on the top back side of the larger blade and a little down the side molding.
