Can this worn Tang Stamp be ID'd?

Post by tom234 »

Hello all and thanks for looking. Can anyone ID the remnants of this tang stamp? Pretty certain it is MADEINUSA, under a few letters in an arch which I can't properly ID in order to get some kind of reference on-line, either using text or viewing images. It doesn't look much better in person or enlarged, that's just what there is left. Someone who is familiar with the stamp might recognize it immediately? I've spent a few hours hunting. I'd really appreciate any ideas. If there is a better sub-forum here or elsewhere, please let me know? Thank you, Tom :)

WESTACO MADE IN USA.
If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants.

Post-WW2 since it has MADE IN USA as part of the stamp.

Model B3xx. B for hard composite, 3 for 3 blades. For the exact model, we would need to see all 3 blade shapes to determine the pattern number.

Thanks btrwtr and zzyzzogeton- Really BIG thanks. The 3rd blade is nearly identical to the pictured smaller blade, but I don't need that specific info. There's a picture of it on eBay with the variety number, anyway. But really, really, thanks. :) :) :)
