Here's the only one I have;a 3 blade stockman with a matchstriker nail mark and very unusual celluloid scales.Sorry for the lousy pictures;I'm still trying to figure out how to take good close up shots with my new camera.

What is the number stamped on reverse side of the knife mean??? Is it the manufactured year? All I get is that it was manufactured from 1926-1929.. but I've noticed there are different style of can opener... Would love to know more about this find please

Some manufacturers stamped pattern numbers on the reverse (pile) side, opposite their company or brand name. Could also be a pattern number, or in rare cases a date. Sometimes the numbers are on a secondary blade. If you post a picture of the blade with the numbers, someone here will probably know.
