Vintage Multi-Blade Pocket Folding Knife

This is a vintage multi-blade folding pocket knife, likely a jack knife or cattle-style pattern, featuring a three-blade configuration: a primary clip point or large spear point blade, a pen blade, and a smaller punch or awl. The handle scales appear to be made of an aged synthetic material, possibly celluloid or early composition plastic, in a butterscotch or honey-amber hue. It features a decorative metal shield inlay on the side, characteristic of early 20th-century American or European cutlery. The construction includes metal bolsters at both ends, indicating a more robust build intended for heavy daily use. The condition is heavily aged, exhibiting significant oxidation and a dark patina across all steel components. There are visible signs of wear, including a noticeable crack in the handle scale near the center pin and surface pitting on the blades. The blades appear to have been sharpened many times throughout their service life, resulting in a loss of original profile shape. The general aesthetic and construction suggest a manufacturing date between the 1920s and 1950s, possibly from a manufacturer like Camillus, Case, or Imperial.
