Short hunt new site

[401K]

Hunted this new site for around ½ hr. this eve. The new site looks promising and the research that I did dates it to the 1600s. It was getting dark and I was out there in the woods,found some early 1700s stuff but this pocket knife I cannot find to much info about it. Thinking it was made somewhere in the 1800s. Waterbury made lots of brass and copper things in the colonial days. I will do some more research on it and hopefully find the maker W.VILLE. ....HH.... 401K

Is that a knife or a shaver? Either way with the marking, it's pretty cool!

I found the same knife at a cellar hole. The W.Ville is not the maker it is the abbreviation for a section of Waterbury called Waterville. Not sure what type of business this was as I haven't bothered looking into it. here's my knife below
