PAT NO. 2297855? Utica Cutlery?

[TripleF]

No name on the tang....just Patent No. 2297855

Can anybody date this and offer manufacturer? I did Google the patent number and it was registered to Utica Cutlery in the 1940's.

looks like you have done your own homework, i dont think i can add to that except, nice knife there...

[Big Barn]

I think you found the manufacture & Pat date will be real close. As long as the pat was for something to do with the knife?

I just listed this knife on the bay. If you'd like to see it just look for PAT NO 2297855 and I'll show up!

I did clean up the blades a little:

So I found a knife that has this same patent number but looks a little different . Quite different in fact . It is a equal end cigar 3 3/8" closed with marbled delrin covers . The blades are identical to the ones shown in this thread down to the recurve in the clip blade . Mine only says (Patent NO. 2 ,297,855 U.S.A. )
Are you all pretty confident it is a Utica ? And if the original author of this thread doesn't mind me asking . Do you know a value ? For information sake only as I will not be selling this knife . Just for the display and my records .
