Press Button Knife Co. Walden N.Y. 1893-1923

This is a repeat of what I posted in another thread, but I thought this knife should be pictured here as well.

This is a Press Button Victor model. It was given to me a number of years ago by a close friend who has since passed. When I received it, the spring was too weak to make it fire and lock, it usually just opened about half way. The blade showed a lot of loss, and was badly stained, scratched, and even had some pits. Also, there was considerable peek when closed. (Ouch!) I wasn't sure it was worth the investment, but the close friend who gave me the knife is gone now, and I hoped I could bring the knife back to some of its former glory as a tribute to his memory. Someday, it will probably be a gift to one of his sons or grandsons. I sent it off to Muskrat Man about five months ago, and here is how it came back. It fires fast and complete, it seats deep, and locks tight. And, while the blade still shows some loss, what remains is bright and shiny. And I like bright and shiny. Thank you Muskrat Man for your expertise on this knife. It is special to me.

I have a Press Button Knife that has never been used in a case I am assuming it originally came in. It was my wife's father's but looks to have never been used. She has no intention of selling it but would like to know what it is worth. Any help would be greatly appreciate.

Looks like this post is a couple years old. I came across it trying to find out more about a knife my son and I purchased at a flea market a couple years ago. We haven’t been able to find another Press Button Knife with Mother of Pearl handles. Any information would be appreciated and estimated value. Thank you in advance.

This forum is filled with very kind and generous people. I am definitely not a collector like so many of you. Will definitely hang around for people. And I continue to see cool knives that my dad would enjoy and I like to learn.
