All About Pocket Knives

This one just arrived. It is all steel, pins and all, so would you figure it was made about 1942 (or so)?
Well, my original puzzlement about this knife is who made it. All it says on the tang is "MADE IN USA"....
If I recall correctly.... seems like the general concenus is if the tang only says made in USA then it is made for sears.

Here is a couple more pics.....
Thanks,
Mike

Made in USA c1924-1965 , Mark used by Sears &Roe buck ~~Goins ( Judging by the opener and allsteel Bolsters ) 1940 -1946 or there abouts .. K.C. From what I see , I could be off on the Manufactured dates , If anything Earlier ! Nice Camper( scout ) .

Thanks for the research KC ...

So do you think it was made by Camillus or maybe another knife co.?

Also, I suppose it would have had a "USA" shield on it if it were made FOR the military.

I suppose I could just put it in my "Sears" pile but I was just feelin' around for the company that made it too.

Given My Limited Knowledge On Sears , ( Though I Did have a sears 250cc Motor Cycle at one Time ) That Bone is so close to Camillus I would Say 50 /50 ..Mike Given That there is a well worn Pattern to the Jigging were as Camillus did a lot of more random Pic bone early , Some one may no for sure given the Sears Manufactures Preferences __ Welcome Mike ::tu::__Joe

Thanks for the input Joe.
I guess without a makers name on the tang it is hard to stick a pin in the actual maker sometimes.
