I recently purchased this. It is the smallest pocket knife I have seen. Any help in identifying the maker and year of manufacturing would be a great help. There is no maker on the blade that I can find. I believe that it is made of Bakelite? Also, I believe that it has 2 toothpicks? Thanks in advance!

A lot of these knives were made in Czechoslovakia and were of minimum quality. Yours looks to be of a slightly better build. The pictures are a bit dark;is there any way to lighten them up? My computer skills are minimal.

to AAPK.
The handles could be tortoise shell or horn colored to resemble tortoise shell. The majority of them were made in Czekslovakia or Bohemia.
The two blades are indeed toothpicks one cutting blade.

Is there anyway to guess an age? The material is super thin and does resemble tortoise shell. I'm guessing it's not super valuable-under $25? I only ask to make sure it's an everyday user!
Thanks for the advice

Probably 1920-30's, they are not very valuable or collectible so feel free to use it.

What, no snuff spoon or ear spoon, depending on your definition of what their purpose might have been?
There must have been millions of these made.
