Anyone know what this might be worth?

Nice looking knife. In 1942 they were 22-24 dollars a dozen. Worth considerably more now, of course !! You might check completed auction values for this knife in similar condition.

Any auction site. Ebay might have a few. It might also help to search for Schrade (the manufacturer). These aren't exact matches but this Schrade branded press button is currently available on AAPK: https://www.allaboutpocketknives.com/ca ... locks-work And this one was previously sold on Ebay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/381984411413

Your knife is really nice. If it works as it should I think it's worth every bit of $200. Likely more, 200 is a safe guess as I don't know it's full value.

I was thinking it may be worth somewhere in range. I have sold some pretty sad looking automatics on ebay before I got shutdown for selling one, didn't know it was a no no. Have not tried since.

Just curious. Did Schrade make these for Shapleigh? I know they made knives for other companies.

They very likely did. Schrade also made switchblades for case and remington, if im not mistaken.

Yes sir. That's why I put manufacturer in parentheses after Schrade. Schrade made a lot of knives for Shapleigh.
