It's a potato knife or potatoe knife. I can never remember how to spell that.

Here's a pic.
Looks to be an advertising knife,piece of paper under each (once clear) scale.

Catt that knife needs to remain isolated from your other cutlery. Looks to me like the handle is outgassing.

Roger that Philco,It's a mess isn't it?
I have a few like that and keep them far away!
Sill know nothing about the maker....weird

Charlie That was a hoot!! Who remembers Dan Quale?? LOL

[cattaraugus57]

Dimitri, here's another pic,bad angle though..main blade is twice as long as the pen blade,
and just as worn.

haha Dan Quale was the first thing I thought of!

OK, thanks, the reason I ask is that being marked "specialty co." some of these had a special long screwdriver blade that was used by radio technicians.

I have no information on the name stamped on the tang.
