Ralph Bone knife
Rob, Your right, the older I get the more I don't know too. I didn't know Ralph made folders, thats interesting. I have a 5 inch fixed blade hunting knife that I bought new in 1968-9 and still have it. I have seen a few of these go for around $300-$500, so I assume your folder would be worth around that same figure. I'm not an expert on bone knives but mine has a "bone" shaped mark on the blade and is really well made. It has a rosewood handle with brass guard and butt cap, and the sheath has a stone pocket and is marked on the back with Johnson's Leather, Casselberry, Fla. and has a C5 stamped under the logo. Inside the bone is "Bone Lubbock, Tx" and on the other side of the blade is C 525. These probably don'[t help you out much with your folder but thought I'd share the info anyway. Terry
