Show off your Winchester Knives

Winchester entered the knife market as a manufacturer in 1919 by acquiring two existing knife companies; Eagle Knife Co. of Connecticut & Napanoch Knife Co. of New York. Winchester stepped away from the market in 1942 to focus on war related manufactured products, but re-entered in the late 1980s by licensing its name to Blue Grass Cutlery. Blue Grass had high quality knives made by Queen Cutlery that featured the Winchester brand name for a handful of years until the license arrangement ran its course. Winchester eventually started licensing to other companies & now you will find the brand name used by several knife manufacturers by way of license agreements.

Anyone know the approximate value of this old Winchester marble celluloid Jack knife?
Made in USA
Bought it for $3 at an antique store.
It was all corroded and filthy.
Took it home and cleaned and polished it.
Cool little pocket knife

Nice old contract made Winchester, probably from the later 1930's. Value is highly dependent on condition, therefore no one can really put a value on it from the information given. Needed information would include, size of the knife, pictures of the other half of the knife, information on how the blades snap open and closed, and any information on other damage. Having said all of that, if the knife is 3 1/4" +/-, if the knife snaps and if there is no unseen damage (e.g. to the other side of the knife) I would guess that the knife would sell on the big auction site for $20-35. The value suffers because the knife is not an actual Winchester made knife but rather a contract. JMO

Picked this up a while back… The seller Claimed to have owned it since the late 70s or early 80s… Cannot find another one like it or any information about it… the bolster/hilt says “Liberty and Union”..tight as a snare drum, never sharpened..Does anyone know anything about this or seen one like it? Thank you for your replies…
