This was given to me by my dad a long ago, which was given to him by my grandfather, and supposedly was given to him by my great grandfather as a christmas present. I don't know if it is that old, but can anyone point me in the right direction. I says New York on 1 blade, and looks as if at one time the manufacurers name was on both blades but has been warn off. It would be good to know, so that I could pass on a little history with it. Couldn't find anything like it on ebay except a boker congress 4 blade, but then again, I only know a few things about case and thats it. Thank you!

It looks pretty to old to me, my guess is before Schrades time.
I see you already tried the Camillus forum but you might want to try one more time in Bernard Levine's forum, someone there might recognize the pattern.

They will probably ask for better pictures or scans of the markings but looks like there may be enough there to get an ID from someone who knows the stamp.
There were a lot of manufactures in New York in the early 1900's
