The Miller Bros looks to be a 2 bladed ,bone handled , swell end jack with a matchstriker long pull. They went out in 1926, so the knife is at least 80 years old. They are some die hard Miller Bros collectors out there, you just have to be patient about finding them. I don't really keep up with the values on Miller Bros much, but I would assume its at least a $50 knife, maybe more.
I think everyone here knows what Pal was famous for- buying out Remingtons cutlery division in 1940. They started in 1931 and quit in 1953.

It is really a book (or folder) of all knife samples and advertisements. here are a few pictures, if anyone wants a close up of a certain knife just let me know. Ken thank you for the offer but not ready to sell yet.

Here is what I came up with on approx Value, this is rating them at High end Good (65-84%)
These are just a guess at value based on the pictures provided, and what I can guage.

Miller Bros c1863-1926: $103.95 (3 out of 4 stars for collectability as per Official Price guide, 14th Edition)

PAL Cutlery c1929-1953: $30.89 (2 out of 4 stars)

Argyle Cutlery c1910-1930: $26.46 (1 out of 4 stars)

This is just a snap shot at value, and I am no official appraise by any means. This is just using the RBR scales to figure out an approx value.
