Do you know how to determine the dates for Richard's knives?

I know they started to use the lamp post stamp in 1932, and they were sold to Imperial knives in the 1970’s, so it is definitely within that time frame. I say 50’s to 60’s because I have seen similar knives in articles that are said to be from that time frame. Had to tell for sure without more extensive research.

Plus it has celluloid scales, which is an old method for covers.

Nice looking knife, but I’m confused. The tang stamp says Hammer brand, U.S.A. Why are you calling it a Richards Camping Knife from Sheffield England?

OMG! LOL! You are correct. I have several knives for sale at the same time on various sites. For some reason when I listed this knife here, I confused this with a Richards knife I had for sale and kept answering you in that context. Thank you for pointing that out. This is a Hammer Brand knife. Hammer was a New York company that produced knives around the same time frame.
