Does your blade have two small grooves along it? The faded word is probably Birmingham.

Texas, No, it doesn't have any grooves in it. It's flat all the way down. The back of the blade, from the tip to the end of the handle is flat and could be used as a straight-edge. I'm going to check the link Mr. One Eye Joe sent. It may be on there if this one is still made.
