Hi, new here and not sure if this is the correct forum, but I've got a nice vintage pocketknife/multi-tool from the Challenge Cutlery Co. Can't figure out how to post photos. It has 4 blades, including a leather awl, and is roughly 5" long when closed. The handle is stag. The tang marks say "Challenge Cutl. Co" with a big C and E in Challenge, in the shape of an arc. It also says Bridgeport Conn. and one of the blades has a number 28 on the base. I've found a lot of info on the company online, but not much on this particular knife. I'm curious as to how old it would be (I know it's pre-1928). Any ideas? Thanks!

Pretty sure this knife is a good 'ol scout knife with scales that are probably jigged bone not stag, but pictures will confirm.
Goin's lists challenge cutlery Bridgeport CT as ca. 1905-1928
 
jc57, Thank you for the info, didn't know it was against the rules, sorry about that. I've edited the post accordingly. Hickory n steel, Thank you for the help! Here are the pics: the tang marks might be hard to read.
Not sure about the handle at all, I just think it's stag based on Google images. I don't know a lot about knives, I mainly specialize in antique furniture and the like, but thought this little knife was very cool and wanted to know a little more about it!
