Case xx green letter

Post by Gayle1958 »

Could someone point me to a site that would list all of the pattern numbers of a specific series of Case knife sets.
I am trying to collect all of the " 1905 75th anniversary 1980" set. I always heard them called the green letter set.
The first stag I ever owned was the moose pattern from this set.
After many years of mixed knife buying Im gonna try to collect by the set.
Thanks,
Gayle R Green

Gayle,
I recently took a set on trade. The letters look more blue or black than green but I am a little color challenged.
Check your PMs.

I hafta chuckle, in a sad sort of way...my woman suggests I have "too many" or "more than I need" knives. And then gsmith or Qtcut (and others, you know who you are) posts "this is what I've got" on all of the cool stuff, including sets....I obviously don't have nearly enough!

And now you have pictorial evidence to refute those accusations from your gal. :D
