Those were made in the '50s and '60s prolly by Colonial.

They actually were given away when you purchased a pair of boots (cant remember what brand). I think it was Colonial that did this as far as the knife maker, I have a bunch of these and some even with little sheaths and will post a pic or two tomorrow.

I too have a few of them and they are variously marked USA Thornton and some unmarked. Thornton was a mark of the Federal Knife Co that was located in Johnston RI.The mark was used by Federal from 1945-1950 (according to BRL) and then was sold to Colonial.
