Go to the KNIFE RELATED Q & A page, click on" Tang Stamp Charts" , scroll down to Imperial. Value? Can't say but not a whole lot.Check e-bay records. J Good luck. J.O'.

Looks like 1956-1988 (with yours being towards the beginning of that era) and based on sold eBay listings no more than $10 each.

Check eBay sold listings. One just like those (2-blade jack with black covers) sold recently for $10.

Probably 1950's, 60's, if there are patent numbers on the blades that would help with dating.
