Syracuse Knife Company USA on the tang, handles have The Coca Cola Bottling Co. and Delicious and Refreshing on the other. The handle is a cracked ice type material that has two cracks on the front and the ink is gone on the writing but still readable. A knife trading buddy had this in an old cigar box and I got it on a trade, my question is wonder when the knife was made? My S K C G book is very limited on dating, does say 1904-Camillus, the knife is in pretty decent condition just a light cleaning is needed. I don't have an advertising knife book, thanks.
