Just bought this one off of fleabay. Likely paid too much, as I'm a relative newb to knife collecting. I do know from the stamp that it's from 1940-46. Past that, I've got nothing. Any info as to the pattern, value, etc?

Looks like a whittler to me. It looks like a nice antique find to me but I'm certainly no expert!

Camillus #72 whittler.
WWII or before.
Handles look like Rogers bone.
In that condition with the worn down blades I wouldn't give more than about $15, and than only if I can salvage the bone for another knife with better blades, but I have several of that pattern from that era frame and later.
I'm sure it can be sharpened & it should take and hold a great edge.
It would make a nice user. I love to carry history in my pocket and use it through the day.
