Here is a nice little 3 inch "Ascend" knife from William Thomas Staniforth, Sheffield, England.
Interesting history in this maker in Tweedale's book.

Thanks for looking.

That looks like it would be right at home in a 3-piece pinstripe or tweed suit. ::nod::
Nice one, Joe!
Take care and God bless,

I think it's probably celluloid. Thanks Dan.
