Info needed on a Walden

[cpirtle]

Yesterday I picked up some vintage pieces at a antique/vintage shop and this was one of them.

I have a rough idea of age because of the tang stamp but I'm looking for any more detailed info if anyone has it.

To me the blades look close to 100% and the knife does not show any pocket wear. The bone is flawless brown/peachseed. The liners are brass and the blades have great snap.

It's about 3 3/8" closed and very thin, under 5/16"..

Any info as to model, more detailed age or even value would be apprecited, thanks!

Should also add that the blades are peppered but don't look nearly as bad as the scans make them look.

Let me give it a shot,
Best guess
Its called a sleeveboard pattern and look like the 7113B pg 14 in the Schrade Pocket knives catalog reprint from 1926.
Sleeveboard style for the wider front bolster the 113 meaning sleeveboard bone stag.
Anyone else got some better history?

Welcome cpirtle, glad you made it.

I'm not nearly as knowledgeable as most of these folks in here, but I did find this in Houston Price's book:

"The straight line Schrade Cut Co.marking was adopted after World War 1 and was used until World War 2 or shortly afterward...."

So, we are beginning to narrow it down. Looks like a Sleeveboard Pen pattern to me, as lrv mentioned, as it does have the large blade at the widest end.

I believe "Cut. Co." on the tang stamp dates it before '46

But I could be wrong...
