Ibberson knife recognition

Hi!
Can someone help telling me what is the value of this knife and when was it manufactured?

Inside there is 52-37 number.

Hi and welcome to the site That is a nice little penknife. It has Firth Stainless blades which dates it to the 1920s or 30s. Perhaps the number 37 refers to the year of production. It likely originates from around that time. Hopefully Wellington will see this and provide more definitive information. s-k

A warm welcome to the forum Majesty84.

Your equal-ended penknife was the sort of thing commonly produced by Ibbersons during the 1930s. "52-37" means the knife was made up in the long shop (able cutlers) "52" being the cutler's mark, "37" being the year of manufacture, 1937. Can't tell from the picture if your knife has been used ?, has the main blade lost it's original edge ?. All-metal 1930s penknives generally have quite a low value.

I usually pick these sort of knives up here in the UK for between £2-£15 depending upon condition and what is being advertised on them.
