Currently listed on EBay: Ostensibly a Case 61093 "Toothpick/Tickler" Pattern handle-die partnered with the main muskrat clip blade off a Case 6254 "Trapper". I'm hoping the experts can weigh in here about both the tang stampings and the shield because they all look a little scetchy to me; but I'm not 100% sure. What I can say with confidence is the second digit from the left "2" in the Case pattern number system indicates two blades which the "legendary" trapper has, the clip blade being partnered with a long spay blade. The XX USA era 61093 pattern, as the "1" indicates, has a single long clip blade.*
*There were two bladed toothpicks built on the 5" 093 pattern handle-die in the XX and XX USA eras but they were not made with bone handles. They were yellow composition or yellow derlin. These were the ubiquitous 32095 "Fisherman's Knives" made with a Stainless long clip blade and a scaler blade.
