Searching and found this: so I will contribute here; I would also like to get some information on this stamp.

Is anybody familiar with this stamp?

Thanks for looking.

Nice one FRJ!

I could never score an original, so I eventually made one.

[FRJ]

Nice job.

Thanks Dimitri. Any thoughts on that odd stamp?

[Miller Bro's]

Joe, seen it before but I don't have any other information.

[FRJ]

It's a head scratcher.
Thanks Dimitri.

A Nagle I have, fairly easy to date as Nagle was only in business a couple years around 1916.

A great looking knife

Interesting subject. Thanks to all who’ve contributed.
Here’s a Wilbert that fits this subject . Don’t know who made it for them but it’s a very nice knife with half stops on the main and tool blades .
Will bring it down to the car shop and test fit it on a presto lite tank and light .

Nice knife JP

[Duffer]

Great examples guys! Enjoyed viewing and admiring each of them

Here is my example. This one is branded Diamond Edge but was made by Schrade.

Nice one Lloyd

Gotta love how they leave out the purpose of the square hole in the description

[FRJ]

It seems odd to me how some have a unrefined square hole, as mine does, and some are quite refined as in Johns and Lloyds.
I'm totally ignorant how something like that is fashioned but it goes from one extreme to the other.
I'm pretty sure they couldn't dress them all with a file. That would be pretty labor costly.

Anyone have a picture of the light (or whatever) these tools were used on? Thanks!

Here’s an old presto lite tank that we had laying around the shop . The pic is of a Wilbert on the valve of the tank . It fits well. Found out thru trying the valve that you want to flip the knife over before going the other way . Or it will fold up on you .

Thanks, JP. I guess that was the best lighting they could come up with at the time.

Here's my contribution to Prest-O-Light.

A Robeson 642523 Auto knife with a couple of wrenches.
It has 2 blades I have never figured out their use. The one blade looks like a spoon?

I have never been able to find any documentation on this knife.

Yesterday morning, my visit to the post office produced this multi tool, SCOUT KNIFE. It becomes my first example to be posted under this topic or thread. It also became the first example, of this particular pattern or style, to be added to my "foreign born" pocket knife accumulation. It is a WERWOLF, one blade, five tools (a cap lifter or bottle opener with a screwdriver AND a PREST-O-LIGHT key, a can opener, and a punch or awl), one tang stamp, 3 3/4" closed (not including the bail), scouting or camping, pattern or style of pocket knife. The main blade front tang stamp (VERY FAINT) says, "WERWOLF (over) CUTL. WORKS (over) GERMANY" The shield says, "SCOUT KNIFE" The main blade has a WEAK half stop. The main blade has a GOOD opening snap. The main blade has a GOOD closing snap. The tools open and close with no issues. The punch or awl is copper colored on the back. This pocket knife is in EXCELLENT condition. It did NOT need any cleaning at all. I just wiped it off. I took some pictures, they do NOT do this pocket knife any justice, and here it is.
Caption(s), if any, are on the BOTTOM of the corresponding picture(s).

"WERWOLF WORK GERMANY c 1920 "Dixon Cutlery Co. Germany"
is stamped on the front of the tang."
