✅ SOLVED Antique automatic knife maker id needed

[oldbattleaxe]

Hello forum, hope all of you had a happy Christmas, holiday and new year? I have this very old knife marked on blade Superior Steel. It measures 10 1/2" long opened up. I was thinking Sheffield. What do you think? I value all opinions. Thanks Bill

Lever lock knife with shell extractor. Cool knife. Just guessing - 1940's? Can't help much on a maker, either.

You know, I could not find one like it. You found one. What decade would this knife come from? I guess this is solved. You have a nice collection of old photography. I just love old photos. I will post some of mine soon. I have a few switch blades that I would like to sell.

I notice yours is longer though and has wood scales.
