Welcome to AAPK. It’s an interesting knife. General information about Providence Cutlery can be found here viewtopic.php?p=216470#p216470

In general Providence made lower end inexpensive knives, using inexpensive materials (the steel in the blades is good) and inexpensive construction methods. Yours is an unusual example but I can’t tell from the pictures if the handle covers are celluloid or ?? - looks a little like horn. Without having it in-hand it’s difficult to estimate value. Someone who collects the brand may know more.

Here’s a reference about value you should read. viewtopic.php?t=77592

According to Levine, there was a German import brand 1880-1915 that was also called Providence Cutlery. He says the American mark was from 1917- 1980's and was a lower end product. I agree the scales look like horn. From your pics, that knife doesn't look "lower end". Like to see a better view of both tang marks if possible, J.O'.

This one is Providence Germany. Bolsters are not pewter, but nickel silver. It's a shame somebody did the big buff job on the whole knife, detracts from value to most.

Still like to see close ups of those marks. I have a suspicion about the smaller blade. Call me crazy but it looks like it says CASE BROS when I blow it up. O'

Which is why I suggested the knife is cobbled together. O'.
