Very recently, this pocket knife arrived in a large group or lot of pocket knives that I bought. I did NOT purchase the group or lot to obtain this particular pocket knife. However, it did turn out to be a keeper. It is a UNITED, one blade, one tang stamp, 2 3/4" closed, pocket knife. The main blade front tang stamp reads "UNITED (over) CUTLERY Cᴏ̲ (over) GERMANY" The main handle side says "OUR - BOY" and has an embossed image of a boy. The other handle side also says "OUR - BOY" and has an embossed image of a boy. Per GOINS, UNITED CUTLERY Cᴏ̲ GERMANY, c 1908-1922. This pocket knife is in VERY GOOD condition. The main blade has a crisp half stop, also a good opening and closing snap. I gave it a very minor cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.
Caption(s), if any, are on the BOTTOM of the corresponding picture(s).

I have a similar knife but the boy isn't wearing a hat. Blade only says Germany. I'll post it in a bit

This Napanoch has Scout on the blade, but I've always looked at it as a boys knife, maybe Cub Scout

A tang stamp that I have not seen before, Simmons Boss, Goins has it but only states 1910. Small 3" ebony boys knife.

A tang stamp I haven't seen before W VAN DER VEER / Amsterdam / Holland.
Looks German made with "Dutch Boy Products" on the shield.

Houston Price's GUIDE (p.176) says, "Simmons Boss" : Simmons Hdwe., c.1940-1960." (no country of origin). Nice knife. J.O'.

Landed a New York Knife Co 3 1/4" boys knife, has to be one of the nicest boys knives I've ever seen. Beautiful early pick bone.

That's a beauty of a knife, John.
It must have been well tucked away.
