Just wondering if anyone might know any info about these. Found them in my Grandpas old shed and I know they have been there for years.

They have some rust but still cut perfectly! I think it's a great find that I can pass down to my kids. Not sure if they are worth anything but the sentimental value is priceless. I know my Grandfather who was almost 99 when he passed last year, used the crap out of them.

Thanks in advance for any info, history, or even a time frame of when they would have been produced.

I believe those are from the early 1950s to 1965. IIRC, the "Ka-bar" style was used during that period.

They probably didn't have them made for very long.
 
Maybe Eagle Rock is the location of their factory that produces them? I don't know where Kabar's American facilities are. It could also be the outsourced a company located in Eagle Rock to produce these Ka-Bar brand scissors for them. That would be my best guess.

I am sure there are people WAY more knowledgeable on the subject than me that will give a much more satisfying answer to your question.
