I recently picked up a Cattaraugus King of the Woods 12839 , jigged bone, lockback , no swinging guard, straight line tang stamped folder.
is there anyway to get a range of date of manufacture? I've read it was preceded by a liner-lock version. Thanks for you help.

1886 to 1963 is the best I can do. Not sure there is a way to pin it down but if there is, one of the guys or gals will come along and fill us in.
