60s case 6202? And Imperial 56-88 questions

Hollow bolster Imperial (lacks the backspring pivot pin, so has to be hollow bolster/shell construction) Jack is probably 56 to 88.
So far as I know, Imperial didn't put a model/pattern number/name on the shell/hollow bolster knives.

Someone who knows a lot more than me may know the pattern/model number.

The 1095 should sharpen up nicely.
My Imperials of that vintage work best with a 10 to 12 degree per side edge.
No edge rolling or chipping, and they hold an edge long enough to be useable.

GR8 finds 😇👍
 
Awesome thanks! They both have a wonderful patina.... And the previous owner must have been a grease monkey, the schmutz that I cleaned out of them looked like oil off an engine block..... I tossed the case on my stones, still small chips but both got shaving sharp pretty quickly.
