All About Pocket Knives

Found this at local antique mall at lunch today, any info
greatly appreciated as fixed blades are not my forte..
Approximate age and value, model name and #?
Thanks so much!

Hey Jody , The knife is a "woodcraft" model and it was probably made in the late 1930's or early 1940's . It has been quite a while since I have bought or sold one of these , but I think that the value would be in the $200 -$300 range , but the box and compass would add considerable value (maybe as much as $100-$200) . Great find (especially the box) !

Nice outfit Jody. Did you add it to your collection ?

Great.

Now you need the proper Marbles waterproof match safe to complete the set.

Charlie

Yes, Phil, I brought it home!
Rob, thanks so much for the info!
Charlie, I hunted the whole antique mall for that matchbox...

It will look better once I get the green goo off it, looks
like it has been sheathed for a long time.

Real nice find !!!...my Uncle Al recieved a set like this long about 1960,,,
thats what took my fancy as a young lad to Marble's products...
What you have there is a post WW2 Christmas box gift set...
box looks real good and I would guess-ti-mate its value "empty"
at 150.00 to $250.00...
nice Woody to go along with the short tang coat compass...
get a Matchbox in there to complete set, you could be lookin at $650.00 - $750.00
for the whole set together...
I have 3-4 Matchboxes in my store, let me know if you are interested, maybe I
could give ya a deal on one to complete your set

When did they change the sheath to a plain one?

The sheaths were always plain from 1900 on till they went to the Moose & Goose Logo in the late 1950's
Early Tube sheaths had Cattails embossed into the leather, thats about it for sheath embellishment
