I have two of them with jigged bone handles.I would guess yours is plastic. I think the time line is a little later than 1950's;probably 1970's or thereabouts. They are neat little knives and pretty well made.

Mr. Watch, ebay listings are not reference material. A few sellers who are also collectors give accurate info, but many give false info to promote the knife. Much better to ask a question here at AAPK.
