Welcome bobjr!

Let's see here...

Is it possibly the WILBERT Cutlery Company?? If so, it was a very early (like 1909) Sears brand, made for Sears by Napanoch.

Could the other one be the PRESS Button Knife Company?? If so, it was an early George Schrade company... that morphed into the Walden Knife Company...then into Schrade. (Simplified explanation, but close.) :)
Old George held several patterns on automatic knives.

If not, I couldn't find anything on the other names.

Thank You for the information I had allways wondred.Now how do I go about putting a value on these Two Knives? The Wilbert is a large folding Knife about the size of a Buck lock blade and the press button is small vest pocket knife in need of repair.
