The name's familiar but I can't say that I ever listened to him until I did a search. An olde tyme mountain balladeer.

By the way, Welcome to AAPK. Someone will be along shortly to evaluate your knife

I though everyone had heard of Jimmie Rodgers at sometime or another. There were many Country singers that carried his style into their own like Merle Haggard and Hank Williams Sr. That's the problem with these so called new Country singers, they have no style. They all seem to have the same tune with just different words. You can't tell one from the other now days. When Merle, George Jones, Waylon and those good old Country singers came on the radio, you didn't have to guess at who it was. You knew after the first word, sometimes with just the first couple of licks on the bass in Waylon's case.

Welcome to AAPK Naphtali. ::tu::

The 881Y is not real rare and it has been used quite a bit I see.
If they are in mint condition with box or tube & papers, you might see one go as high as $75 on a good day (retail).
Most likely for one like yours about $25-$30.

Nice knife.
I have one my dad gave me that has advertising on it.
