Two blade IXL barlow - looking for information

[Patlepecheur]

Hello to all!
I found my deceased dad's EDC pocket knife in an old tool box. I believe it's an IXL 2 bladed barlow. I don't know this brand. I believe it is from the 1950s but it might be earlier. Since I think this was my grandfather before. I just want to know from when it dates. Maybe a value too. Not looking to sell it. It as enormous sentimental value. But i might use it as a daily carry. Any help would be appreciated !

Also, that is not a Barlow, it's an easy open jack.
