Tang Stamp?

[NAllen731]

Can someone identify this one?

It will help if you show a picture of the entire knife, blades open & blades closed. Seeing the knife might give clues as to how to interpret the tang markings.

Here it is.

Fruit knife with a silver blade and those stamps are not a tang stamp, they are silver identification stamps. The long thin blade is, I believe, a seed pick. Someone will correct me if I'm wrong.

Thanks, it didn't dawn on me to look down that path. I have seen similar markings on pocket watches.

The long thin blade looks like a French manicure blade to me, curved instead of straight to fit the curve of the frame.

The knife is a watch fob knife and the long thin blade is in fact a manicure blade. The marking is I believe W.G.C. and although I haven't been able to trace that marking down I have a fob knife with a similar marking. It say W.G.C. "X-tra"

John Goins wrote a book on tang stamps, Ray just collected all the knives.

Wrong again. When will I learn to wait for Ray.

Only half wrong, Jerry, only half. You actually got the most important part correct - the part he initially came in asking about.
