Any other CASE canoe collectors out there?

The W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery Company has a very rich history that began in 1889 when William Russell (“W.R.”), Jean, John, and Andrew Case began fashioning their knives and selling them along a wagon trail in upstate New York. The company has produced countless treasures and it continues to do so as one of the most collected brands in the world.

Even if they aren't made by Case, canoes are classic and cool! ::nod::

Some more very nice knives, Charlie. You are singlehandedly keeping this thread going. Hard to believe there are not more collectors out there with canoes.

At least the knives are getting looked at, Dan. I notice all of them have been viewed repeatedly. I'll keep trying and maybe someone else will start showing some of theirs.

Here's another one of mine....Centennial stag....

Here's another one I just acquired..........1965 - 1969 ::super_happy::

I have a correction to make.........I have learned from a fellow collector that the Indian/canoe etch on the master blade of this knife was not used until mid 1974 so this knife is not from the 1965 to 1969 era. It appears to be one of the "hidden dot" knives and as such would have been made between 1974 and 1979. Those dots are REALLY hidden too!!! :lol: It's still an old Case in excellent condition......it's just not as old as I thought.

Some more nice ones, Charlie. I personally like the 1970's ones (with and without the canoe etch) best, mostly because of the bone.
