Obviously not sure of What I Have Found, The 1st line of the tang stamping is worn, but my best read is Princeton, 2nd line is Cutlery Co. If true, maker's name is listed in Levine's Guide, dated as 1905. Also the tang stamp does not include "country of origin, which began in 1900's. I see clues of the age of the knife, the bolster being made of the lining panel, a double swedge on the blade, and the steel pins in the handles. Knife has great snap open and closing with definate half stop.
I would appreciate your opinions and means of verification beyond my limited references.

Princeton Cutlery Co. According to Goins’ in operation from 1875-1900. Often had “ Father of Barlows” stamped on the bolster.

Nice find!
