John Deere 150th anniversary case XX 1987

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.

John Deere 150th anniversary case XX 1987

Post by lark55 »

I bought this at a sale the other day. The knife looks like new other than two cracks coming down from the center pins. I have not been able to find out a value on the knife.

::welcome:: To AAPK. It would be helpful if you could post a pic or at least let us know which of the JD issues it was.

The images in that post will expand to a larger size.

In AAPK, when you hover your cursor over an image and your cursor turns to a hand it means that image can be expanded. If your cursor doesn't change to a hand, it means the image is already as large as it's ever going to get.

When it expands, it will take you to a new window.
If you hover your cursor over the image in the new window and you get a magnifying glass with a + in the middle, that means that image can get larger by left clicking on it.

To get back to your original window, left click the back button of your browser.


Note: I skip all that by hovering my cursor over the image and clicking the roller wheel on my mouse. It opens the image in a new Tab.
