Good Condition.Colonial Knife Company was established in 1926 by the Paolantonio Brothers and is currently under the direction of third-generation family members. The company is located in East Greenwich, Rhode Island, USA.
Heller’s chemical manufacturing business, B. Heller & Co., was founded in Chicago in 1894, and originally focused on selling additives to the butcher’s trade during the dark ages of the Union Stockyards. Once it crossed the 20th century threshold, however, the family-run firm quickly diversified its interests, offering an exponentially enlarging line-up of colorful products all cooked up in the mysterious Heller labs. These included the “Zanzibar” line of seasonings and preservatives (famed for its depiction of topless African tribal women on the packaging), as well as “OZO” cleaning products, “VanHeller” food flavorings, “Bull-Meat Brand” flour, and the “1,000.00 Guaranteed” label—which was slapped on everything from vanilla bean extracts to insecticides.
