This unusual little blade doesn’t have much information. It appears to be a small pen knife or gravity-style knife, likely made of brass, featuring the Pennsylvania State Monument in Gettysburg, PA. The center emblem isn’t securely set and slides along the handle (when it moves, you can see the brighter brass underneath).

The blade shows tarnish and some rust spotting. It does slide in and out, but it can get stuck both inside the handle and when extended, making it a bit finicky to operate. The age and original purpose are unknown; it may have been intended for sharpening pencils or quills, or possibly for cleaning small pipes.

Measures just under 4" long with the blade extended and about 2.75" when closed (see quarter for scale).
