Very recently, this pocket knife arrived in a large group or lot of pocket knives that I bought. I did NOT purchase the group or lot to obtain this particular pocket knife. However, it did turn out to be a keeper. It is a UNITED, one blade, one tang stamp, 2 3/4" closed, pocket knife. The main blade front tang stamp reads "UNITED (over) CUTLERY Cᴏ̲ (over) GERMANY" The main handle side says "OUR - BOY" and has an embossed image of a boy. The other handle side also says "OUR - BOY" and has an embossed image of a boy. Per GOINS, UNITED CUTLERY Cᴏ̲ GERMANY, c 1908-1922. This pocket knife is in VERY GOOD condition. The main blade has a crisp half stop, also a good opening and closing snap. I gave it a very minor cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.
Caption(s), if any, are on the BOTTOM of the corresponding picture(s).

I have a similar knife but the boy isn't wearing a hat. Blade only says Germany. I'll post it in a bit

"Our Boy" made in Germany.

This Napanoch has Scout on the blade, but I've always looked at it as a boys knife, maybe Cub Scout

[Miller Bro's]

Rare one Bob!

A tang stamp that I have not seen before, Simmons Boss, Goins has it but only states 1910. Small 3" ebony boys knife.

Good looking knives John and Barry.

Houston Price's GUIDE (p.176) says, "Simmons Boss" : Simmons Hdwe., c.1940-1960." (no country of origin). Nice knife. J.O'.

Landed a New York Knife Co 3 1/4" boys knife, has to be one of the nicest boys knives I've ever seen. Beautiful early pick bone.

That's a beauty of a knife, John.

It must have been well tucked away.

Thank you Joe, does make you wonder how it survived 100 plus years.
