I've posted some pictures of a pocket knife that belonged to my grandfather. I've been able to determine it is a Remington, but was hoping someone could tell me a bit more about it - approximately when it was made, what it is called. A friend told me he thought it was called a Whittler, however I haven't found anything that looks exactly like it when I've searched...I don't think it is special, I just can't find anything. Also, are the logos on Remingtons specific to a particular time-frame. I've noticed that there is a shape much like an acorn, one that looks like the acorn morphed into a shield....others are like an elongated oval.
Any information will be appreciated.

p.s. I've not posted on a forum before, so this is new to me.....hope I got it right.

It's definitely not a Remington , although I cannot make out the tang stamp . It looks like an Imperial or similar quality knife which would have a value of approx. $5 - $10 .

P.S. It was probably made in the 40's or 50's and is a pen knife style .

Settergal541, welcome to AAPK! You've done a great job posting. Your first thread and your pictures are good.
Let's try to answer your question. On the main blade, you should have a tang stamp. This is a stamp at the base of the blade where it pivots at the bolster. Look at this area and see if there is one word spelled "Remington" or a circle with the word Remington UMC inside and on the outside of the circle MADE IN U.S.A. I don't think you will find that. Remington placed their stamp on the tang of each blade. Your pen blade has a stamp that dosn't fit a Remington trademark tang stamp. Would love to see a pic of that area on the main blade. That would allow for a better assessment.
Secondly, your knife pattern is called a serpentine jack pattern. The main blade is called a clip blade and the smaller blade is called a pen blade. Both on your grand daddy's knife have been used lovingly and are slightly worn. The "shield" on your knife is called a "Crest" shield. It does not appear to be bone handle but plastic or composit material again judging by your available pictures.
This knife has a small dollar value. Never the less is priceless because it was your grandfather's knife.
My best guess it is an Imperial brand or one like it and not Remington by what you've shown. It also sounds as though you are describing the shields on more than this knife. More detailed pictures would help a lot.
Thanks for the look see! Hope it helps!

In addition to the above, it appears that there are patent numbers stamped on the blade. If so, you can look up that patent (Google) and determine the date and, probably, the maker. Remember that a patent is good for 17 years, therefore, the patent number can't really get you any closer than that.
