Rick,

Very hard to date these with great accuracy.

At a guess the larger one could have been made anywhere between the 1920s and the 1950s, though the elegant back spring suggests a pre WWII provenance.

The smaller one was most likely made in the 1960s or even 70s judging by the construction. These cheap and garishly decorated navajas were aimed at the souvenir market.

Cheers
Chris
