Re: Help identify approximate year of this…
I can’t read the stamps well but it looks like maybe Cattaraugus? If it’s an original Catt then it was made between late 1800s and WWII. From the looks of it I’d guess closer to WWII than 1900, but it looks heavily buffed. Better pictures might help.

I can read Catt also. Too bad someone over-buffed the
blades.

Not saying it is a 1930 knife, but it does appear in the 1930 catalog. 2149 has the sheepsfoot blade like yours. They likely made them for many years. J.O'.

This is very helpful thank you, sorry for the blurry picture, I was having a hard time getting my phone to focus.Ridgegrass wrote: ↑Sun Aug 25, 2024 8:10 pm Not saying it is a 1930 knife, but it does appear in the 1930 catalog. 2149 has the sheepsfoot blade like yours.

I kind of wonder what shape this was in before someone took the buffer wheel to it, definitely took off a lot of metal on the handles.
