Old knife, any idea on age?

[zendog64]

Found this knife on a Colonial-era homestead site, and was wondering if anyone can determine its age. Handle appears to be antler or bone, full tang with either brass or copper pins. It appears that the blade might've been serrated, and I don't think the metal is stainless steel. Unfortunately, there doesn't seem to be much info online about dating rusty old knives, so I've got no clue whether its 20 years old or 200 years old.

Looks 19th C to me, but I'm no expert in knives.

Looks 1920s-1930s to me.
