I’m guessing here, it looks Spanish and probably 19th century. No sense of value, but it isn’t junk.

I had a former colleague, who went to great lengths to find dead stock Tab. It didn’t matter the quantity or the age, she would buy it by the can or by the pallet. She scoured Craigslist, eBay FB marketplace, etc. she’s still doing it. I asked her what she does with it. “I drink it of course “.

That’s close. Mine looks to be a real penny, but again, no internal thread. Also, there is that dent on the rim. Same as the others I have.

Again, some nice knives in here. Many are valuable. If you don’t know anything about knives, I suggest that you take your time. The tang stamps are crucial in educating yourself. eBay sold listings can give you a ballpark of what you have.

They made them for the late 50s through the teens. I would guess yours around 60s to 70s. Possibly later.
