Possibly the Novelty knife company who specialized in pocket knives with clear celuloid handles with risque pictures under the cell. Since no one has come forward with a solid ID on this knife I would suggest joining bladeforums.com and posting pictures on Bernard Levines forum, the Guru of knife knowledge.

If there is a makers mark on the tang of the blade try to get a close up picture of the mark. I have never seen one like this, I agree that it's likely rare and possible valueable. However you are not allowed to ask the value on Levines forum without a paid membership, but you will get a solid ID. Take pictures from straight above the knife on all side of it and they should be in focus.
