Thank you a very interesting read.

I have a couple - one near identical to yours - that were my father's.  I have always assumed they were 1960s.  The downside is that the springs are VERY strong making them difficult to open.

You are correct about the springs particularly the shorter blade.

Finger nail rippers

That is exactly why the two I had from my father are nearly unused.  He found them too hard to open.  He actually used (multiple times a day) a rather 'cheap and cheerful' knife with no spring and the blade extending out beyond the hinge to form a sort of 'lump' by which you could open it with one hand.  I still have that one as well.  Image added - It is by Albert Oates (detailed pic is from the internet as mine is barely legible).  Fairly basic with hard plastic body (no steel frame), but good quality steel blade.  Apparently "Current" was a trademark of Albert Oates.
