G SCHRADE (arched) Pullball Red scales Green ball vintage automatic knife

Vintage Geo Schrade Knife Co pullball switchblade with Cream colored handles made in Bridgeport, CT. This is an earlier knife with the arched G SCHRADE B'PORT, CT stamp and the back stamped PATS over 11-9-37 over 10-10-44 which are the correct dates. The knife measures 2 7/8 inches closed and 5 inches open with brass liners. The blade is mostly full (about 95%) with light scratches and some light spotting and pepper spots. The Cream synthetic handles are in nice condition with slight shrinkage and handling marks and a butterscotch ball. There is advertising on the front scale, but can't make it all out, it's "U,S, CORD something CO". The knife works fine. VG+ condition.
