Jose, i pretty sure these are both pre-1920. I really think they are both closer to turn of the century. They are indeed both laminated blades, but they don't show any particularly interesting pattern. I did an etch on the ivory one and brought it back a bit because it looks better this way.
Looking forward to your account Fergie, since i know you have quite a few of these. Should give us a better understanding if it was common to wear these on different sides of the body.
