Ok. ' Fessing up, here. I am a volunteer for a thrift shop whose proceeds fund hospice care. Loving research and being given the choice of evaluating and pricing figurines versus a group of pocket knives-I chose the knives (may have something to do with the scar on my forefinger from my first lesson with pocket knives-don't use use a jacknife as a screwdriver for fixing your bike light while on the school playground). Anyway, while I've been able to find information on most of the knives in front of me, this one has proven to be elusive in determining its value. I hope you can help, and please forgive me if the pictures aren't the best, I'm very obviously new at this. What I can make out on this little over 3 inch long knife; short blade-Norvell Shapleigh St. Louis/US Pats. Feb.13 06. Feb, 26 07. Long blade, Schrade Cut. Co. Walden NY/Norvell Shapleigh St. Louis & on the blade Diamond (DE) Edge.
Please and thank you!
I'm partial to this cutie, but I still need to evaluate it

I recently saw a couple of sliver Schrade press buttons go in the $250 range. If everything works properly and there are no cracks in the MOP handles it might go for a little more.
The Norvell- Shapleigh stamp as well as the locking device on the knife would probably put the manufacture date between 1907-1918.

A pearl, working press button with the leather pouch would probably get top dollar but the eBay police would probably put the kibosh to it. Some do slip through though from time to time. That knife is the bee's knees. to AAPK.
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

Sharperdeals.net is probably the place to auction it.
