Amber Bone Display

[philco]

I happened across this Case countertop display a while back with the Amber Bone insert in it. I have been trying to round up the appropriate knife for each slot in the display insert. I apologize for the sideways photo but that's the best I could manage with my I phone. As you can see there's an open slot and so far I can't figure out what model knife fits there. I've searched ebay numerous times and thus far have failed to find an amber bone handled pen knife. I also suspect the 47 model stockman is not the correct knife for the slot it's in. The fit is not "right" like for the other knives. If any of you Case guys can help me out I'd greatly appreciate it.

Phil i can't tell how big that spot is, but I think you're missing this one.

Phil, Are the model numbers listed on top? Expanding the pic and zooming in, it looks like there are model numbers up there to the left of the prices, but it looks like they all start with 6.5 which is Case's designation for Bonestag
..

[philco]

Wade, the open slot is way too small for that canoe.

Mike the numbers on the top band are not for the insert I have. I just stuck that in there to fill up the hole.

Phil the only pen I found had scissors on one end.

I found this 2001 Amber Bone 06263 SS Eisenhower Pen Knife....think that may be the missing piece?

There ya go Phil! I believe that's it.

[philco]

possible. I wish I knew the closed length of that one.

edit: I checked ebay for listings of that model in other handle materials and found one with the size posted. It said the knife was 3 1/8 inches closed. That fits with the size of the slot in the display insert so I think we're on to something. Now who's got one for sale cheap?

Thanks for the quick replies guys. Now I wish I'd asked y'all months ago.

Phil I noticed while I was searching that a lot of the new ones being offered had that item number on the listing. The one on your board says 232 and the item number on that pen with scissors was 233 so I am betting that a regular pen knife goes there not the Eisenhower which is 3 1/8 while a 33 pen is 2 7/8.

Yes the Case product code 232 corresponds to the bone handled Eisenhower, 06263 SS.

Thanks Steve. Now where can I find one ?

[AR Norby]

As for the spot you have the 47 in, could it be for a 6318 or possible an older 47 that had a long clip?

There is a 6318 in a slot near the top of the insert. It fits like a glove there.

Phil, I believe this should be the TB6339 sowbelly stockman. Looks to me like it should fit the slot. If Steve has a Case Item number/product code secret decoder ring maybe he can confirm.

Thanks Ken.

I just ordered one off ebay so I hope you're right. Even if you aren't it will work in my Case amber bone collection.

The TB Sowbelly Stockman arrived today and it fits perfectly in that display. Thanks Ken for steering me in the right direction. Now if I can just find that Eisenhower knife.....

[Mumbleypeg]

Great! Glad that worked out for you Phill. You had me sweating it out - worried my "educated guess" might have been wrong.

I couldn't find that Eisenhower knife at the Dalton, Ga. show. I flew all the way to Oregon to look for one, and none were to be had at the OKCA show either. Finally, one showed up on ebay and now it's headed to my house.

[gsmith7158]

Wow. That took awhile to find that one Phil. Congrats on filling the case!

[Mumbleypeg]

Phil, Phil! Where's our picture of the finally full and correct case?

Glad I declined to bid further on that. It was getting north of what I wanted to pay and I'm not trying to fill a display (yet... ) so I hope I passed some of the savings along to you. I'm trying to be less of a hawk on amber bone stuff.

Phil, Phil! Where's our picture of the finally full and correct case?

That listing closed over the weekend, IIRC, and it's probably less than half a day into its journey to Phil's cave.

[Mumbleypeg]

Ah! Now I understand - guess I'm just too impatient.

Ken

[philco]

According to the tracking info that knife has yet to find its way to the post office. Looks like it's going to be a while.

Glad for ya Phil and hello.
