Case Classic Proto's or not??

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.

Case Classic Proto's or not??

Post by Mayn60 »

I have been going through my collection lately and found these Case Classics, each and everyone of them has Proto or Prototype etched on the blade, my question is for real an not, and or a realisitic, fair price for them. Sorry about some of the picture quality. thx Dennis

The best way to gauge value, is to find a similar item on ebay, and see what they go for. The proto marking that I can see, seems right.
