How much is a Pocket Edition worth?

[pjggy]

Achim,

The one on the left looks exactly like mine. So, that is the single ring old type?

Can a date be figured out somehow? Where would I look for that info?

Thanks.

Thanks. That will come in handy. My RAD is getting stronger (and my will power is getting weaker).

Wow. I have got to get better at posting. You guys are quick!

Thanks for the information.

Pete, sorry it took so long to get back to you. I had to drive home from work....lol
The date code can be found under the cap plate. It should be a series of numbers. What are they?

The blade boxes are often marked on the bottom.

Wait until you have cases full of them....

Sorry for the delay. I still have to work!

Are you asking about the Pocket Edition? If so, the code is tough to read. I think it is N650329. There is no code on the blade box, just the diamond/arrow logo and the phrase "know the world over".

Just noticed the handle on the Pocket Edition says Pat. Nov 15, '04 if that is helpful.

Using the site from pjggy's post, the date codes looks to be from 1921. Sound right?

Sounds about right for a pocket edition, take a look at this thread and follow it down to the 1917 section

Yes 1921 fits the bill...
