Greetings. a coworker brought in a box of knives for me to help identify/age. I was able to get all but three. Here are the pics:
Knife 1: https://postimg.org/gallery/37s49kmnq/
Knife 2: https://postimg.org/gallery/3exu6hl12/
Knife 3: https://postimg.org/gallery/32pa2nd86/
Knife 4: https://postimg.org/gallery/1kcq00h4m/

Knife 1:
3 blade folder
"Peach Pit" handle
6562 Stamped on outside of hinge apparatus
GERMANY stamped on one tang
Very difficult to make out other markings, but I can see S O (or C) M N on back of the same tang as GERMANY
lXTGWNN


Knife 2:
2 Blade Pen (approx 3" long)
IMPERIAL R Co. on one tang
IMPERIAL on other blade (possibly same marking, but severely worn)
Mother of Pearl handle

Knife 3:
2 blade folder
Beige/Yellow handle (unknown material)
Possible brand seal on handle, name worn off
Two Kissing Cranes, Robt Klaas, Solingen Stamp on tang.

EDITED: Here is a fourth:
Remington. The stamp is simply REMINGTON, no designed font, in a circle, with MADE IN U.S.A. I can't find the right time frame for this particular stamp.

Any help much appreciated. If I can't upload pics, I will gladly email.

Thanks!!

Well, I can't upload pics apparently, so this will be difficult.

Welcome. You don't upload them to BladeForums. You upload them to a photo hosting site (I like Imgur, but NOT Photobucket), and copy and post the IMG links that can be found with your uploaded pics.

Also, and I'm sure you know this, we cannot give you values for these knives.

Thanks, not looking for values at all. Just info.

you can upload pictures, you just need to upload them here https://postimages.org/ first.
Just upload, hit the blue icon at the hotlink for forums to copy it, then paste it here.

The IMPERIAL will be Imperial Provide RI, and it won't have mother of pearl scales.
Unless it's a much earlier knife it won't even have true handle scales at all.
 
Ok, so the Imperial is a probably ww2 or earlier ( before they came up with the shell construction ) 2 blade Congress pattern knife. The scales are probably celluloid or potentially acrylic.
The Robert Klaus is a canoe and again it's handles would be acrylic or celluloid.

You'd be better on the Bernards Levine's collectors and identification forum here.
 
The Imperial is a small Congress pattern with two blades. Sometimes called a half-Congress. The scales are mother of pearl with brass pins and file worked. The bolsters are iron. My guess is from 1920-1935.

The Robert Klass Kissing Crane is a Canoe pattern. Bolsters are (probably) nickle silver. The scales are yellow celluloid. Post WWII.

The 3 blade folder is a Stockman pattern. Probably pre-WWII as those after should be marked W GERMANY or FRG. I'm not sure who the maker is, but it does not appear to be Soligen marked. Scales are picked bone.

Without pics there's no way to say what the Remington might be.
