Sept 28, 2024 communication from https://jimmylile.com
"The S is for stainless. This is a well-known button lock folder made by Jimmy or one of his workers, probably in the 1980’s. He had two people who helped with assembly and other work on the folders during that time. After Jimmy’s death in 1991, some of the folders continued to be produced but there was a distinct dot punched above the Lile stamp to show that it was made after Jimmy passed.

Hope this helped, Vaughn Neeley "

Michigan Sportsmen "Bob Garbe hailed from Michigan and was renowned for this little style. He has passed away, and they have become very scarce. I'll bet many of you have never seen such."
