ADDITIONAL INFO:      This is a advertising knife for a company that makes felt dryer products for the paper manufacturing industry. Ad knives for these companies are pretty common among the knife makers in New York State. I have seen others from Camillus as well as from Schrade Walden and Schrade Cut Co. I have heard that these knives were given to the workers who had to cut the felt from the machines. This is a nice thin knife only ¼ inch thick and would write nicely in the pocket.
