But looking through some old family things my grandmother has, I found this old multi tool. So I really don't know what it is, I've been told Swedish but when I look up old Swedish multi tool no pointers. Can you guys lead me in the right direction even a market value of this piece. I would really like to know how old it is and solve where it came from.
More pics plz. The other side? Top, bottom? Any notable markings?

You've never seen a swiss army knife before?
Swede here. Those three crowns are a national symbol of Sweden so no doubt it's from here. In Sweden a tool like that is called fickkniv.
I have little knowledge about antiques but it looks like something quite common here, so I wouldn't estimate it to be worth anything significant at all I'm afraid.
Triple crowns
Whoops phone being odd
And weird pyramid things
Any hallmarks on the blade(s) or frame?

Agree with some other anon : At least it is made to look like it's from Sweden as those crowns are a very common swedish national symbol.

It's definitely Swedish, that's the lesser coat of arms.
It could be an old EKA knife, but I'm not an expert on the matter.
Corkscrew for wine and liquor bottles with a cork and a folding blade. They are extremely common in Sweden and many people use them daily.
