Harold,
Please pardon me for not responding earlier but I somehow overlooked your question. The 1970s is about the oldest. I saw a USA or two but I believe they were both used.

I found these 2 knives today, in my own house. I hope this still counts as a "knife find".
Two lovely very well made Advertising knives. These can be dated ! Dates are on the handle ! 1955 & 1928.
3 1/8" Ulster/Knife USA, "Trade Ulster Mark" etch & "73P" Senator Pen, Inland Steel Safety award 1955.

And, a 3" Coffin Pen knife, "Minstrels 1928" with "Stainless Steel" blade etch & tang "Stainless/Cutlery Co/New York City".
A Camillus made knife marketed under the "Stainless Cutlery" branding. This is quite an early use of stainless steel in a USA knife. Earliest i think was early 1920's.

Very Fine Knives, a treat to own, the quality feel is still present.

Joe from what you told me, I would say yes that counts as a "Knife Find" or a "Knife Reunion" ::super_happy::
Looks like a sweet find, they look close to mint.

Thanks Gary. Yes, neither has been used. The Stainless Cutlery knife is close to 90 years old ! Both these knives have been carefully looked after by their owners from the very first day they were acquired new.

Great find kj.
Ulster etching on blade is superb. ::groove::
I'm hooked on older advertisers, especially if they have been put away and never used.

Kerry. your two Queen knives are very nice, their unique Delrin makes a practical handles, every bit as useful as the Old Timer and Uncle Henry knives from the same era but the Queens seem much harder to find in that nice of a condition.

KJ, something about old, mint advertisers and award knives that fire up the imagination - I've been accumulating several of the Buck brand - seems they were popular in the 1970's and 1980's for higher end award knives. I sure like the much older knives you "found" there! OH

Thrift store finds from yesterday:

First two letter openers, no makers marks but branded with older SAAB logos:

Then a German pocket knife (the black one) and three Swedish pocket knives from three makers in Eskilstuna:

German & Swedish pocket knives
So I had a good day yesterday!
