I’m brand new to this site so please forgive me if I do not post in the correct location. I have an Uncle Henry LB8 Schrade.
On the tang it’s stamped SCHRADE + USA LB8. It has a serial number of 23746. It looks like it has never been used. And comes with the original sheath. Any idea on the manufacturing date and value? It has 3 brass pins.

The earliest LB8's had LB7 marked blades and a serial number. These came out in 1982. Soon after this Schrade got an LB8 stamping die and the blades are marked "LB8". Last year of production was 2000 but very few were made in 1990's as the LB7 was much more popular.
I do not know current market value but if this was moved to the Schrade forum, people there will know.

Topic now moved to the Schrade Legacy Forum.
Welcome to AAPK!
Since I don't know the answer to that question, I will let someone else come in and tell us what the current value is.
The indicator I always use for value of knives is eBay. I would look to see what the sold price is for the LB8s that are in similar condition to your knife. You have to go with the actual sold price not the asking price. The asking price includes an awful lot of blue sky and smoke from the seller. The actual sale price let you know what other shoppers are paying for the knife.
I hope this helps.
