HELP Identifying a knife Durham knife company

I have what I think is an old vintage knife ( not mint) -- It is marked Durham Knife Company and has a symbol that looks like an arrow with two curved lines going through the middle. It looks very old , but I can't be positive on that. Just wondered if any of you had information on that company- I can't find record of it anywhere in knife books or online- thanks so much in advance. I do see there's a custom knife maker called Ken Durham, but I don't think this is him. I wondered if it was a name for another company etc. I can post a picture too later on tonight

thanks johnnie f i appreciate the info at least it's a lead, which is more than i had-- it may not be as old as i thought- i was thinking it was the age of the joseph rodgers and sons one i had. but now i'm not sure maybe it's just from the 70's and was used? i will post a pic later-- it says durham knife c2 ( i thought it said co , but it def says c2)?- but from the durham duplex site, i don't know if they ever would have called themselves that or had folding knives. This is just a one blade knife the bolster has the arrow symbol there's no company stamping besides the name , and one side of the handle is broken showing bolster lining- thanks again it's bothering me that i don't know
