I am not sure if discussions about vintage knife / multi tools belongs here. Anyway, I just found and purchased a well preserved Oscar Barnett Tool from the early 1900's. The company went bankrupt in 1915. Very nice traditional folder combined with pliers. I have been looking for one, at a decent price for a while. Very cool indeed.

Thomason: Yes, that is it. The one I bought is not quite as "primo" condition as that in your post, but close. I think there were a few blade design changes during the years of production. Mine has a regular nail nick for opening the blade, but the tang is stamped correctly.
