The Fromme / Good Knife Collection

Below are photos of a knife collection that has recently come on the market.  Here is how the owner describes them:

I am writing to let you know that myself and my partner still have the knives taken from Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme after her arrest in the President Ford assassination attempt.  These are the real deal.  We are not claiming these knives to be the actual murder weapons, just knives that were taken from Squeaky after her arrest.  Clarence Slelson who was a federal guard in Sacramento in 1976 was on the job when Judge Thomas J. McBride ordered the knives sold.  Clarence found out that the knives were for sale and with help from friends in the federal building, he bought them for two hundred dollars.  All info is coming from Clarence, who was there when all this happened.  We have a signed sales document that goes with the knives.  Most have evidence tags.  Over some thirty years, a couple have fallen off but you can still see where they were stuck on.  I understand they have the same date as the tag on the gun taken from Squeaky the day of her arrest.  These knives are in original condition, the same as when taken.  I have pictures of Clarence taken now with the knives and in 1976 when he worked in the Sacramento federal building where the trial took place.

If anyone is interested in purchasing the set, please contact me and I'll put you in touch with the owner.
