Re: Ima wearing a Lil Jimmy Dickens stetson
The 4 line tang stamp is 1946 and before.
The 4 line tang stamp was used in 1933 on some knives made for the 1933 World's Fair.
I believe there are earlier examples of the 4 line tang stamp that predate 1933 but I cannot locate it now.

Re: Ima wearing a Lil Jimmy Dickens stetson
...mrB, I've got 2 like that, on both of mine, the nail file blade is not stamped. on none of my 4line knives that have a nail file like that, is that blade stamped, so I think it is 1919-1941. I carry one of mine a lot, I really love that pattern!!..nice find!!!!.........
