I love finding these early Case boxes...

Steve, have you turned into a CT (Case Tease)? Your devotees want to know your secret. Will it ever be revealed or do we just have to assume that it's 6 torpedo sinkers?

[QTCut5]

At this point there are only two possible explanations: Steve is either the cruelest, meanest, most sadistic knife torture master in the history of knife collecting, or else when he unwrapped the knives the shock at what he discovered sent him into immediate cardiac arrest and he's currently crumpled in a dead heap on the floor clutching some amazing, pristine, rare CASE knives in his rigor mortise clenched fists.


~Q~

EDIT: Of course I am just kidding. There's actually a third (and more likely) explanation, i.e., Steve has a wickedly twisted sense of humor and he enjoys winding us all up and whipping us into a frenzy of suspense. Bravo, Steve, Bravo!

I hope not.I want to know!

[knifeaholic]

Oh yeah, forgot about this...now where did I put that box...maybe tomorrow...

[RalphAlsip]

I don't know if anyone else noticed, but the thread title says "boxes" (i.e., plural). Maybe Steve has been busy with even more treasure

[Hillbilly70]

have to say I’m anxious to see to ?

There you go complicating things and just making it worse.

[QTCut5]

It just occurred to me, this thread is clearly about boxes...not the knives inside the boxes. I think the title makes that pretty clear.

So, in keeping with the (obvious) theme of the title of this thread...

The box tells us what is in there: six 3 3/4" 2 blade Barehead Jack knives with bone handles. You can see that they fit the box perfectly. Fishing lures would show some hooks.
I hope i win one for being correct (if i am).

WELL...found the box again, unwrapped the knives....got a photo...

CRAP...where did that photo go? Dang computers...

[knifeaholic]

OK...enough yolking around...here are the knives....TA DA !!! What a find, eh??

[gsmith7158]

You are bad , bad. Bad Steve. We wanted mint 6231's!

[glennbad]

Good one Steve!

[doglegg]

I'll be walking in circles for a month my leg has been pulled so bad. But....having seen how you've treated us thus far...….should we wait for the other shoe to drop. Oh you devious knifemaster.

[bestgear]

Ok...box top off...what in the heck are these? Why would someone wrap up fishing sinkers?

I'm not buying it Steve - the knives in the picture with the open box were far too factory and uniformly wrapped to be the heap that your asking us to believe was in the box - I was born on a Tuesday just not last Tuesday.

I've already formed an image in my mind of what knives are wrapped-up so need to come clean for me, I already know what's behind door#2.

[gsmith7158]

One thing I will say , if Steve has found a box of mint 6231's , What an amazing find that would be. The closest I have ever come is two mint examples wrapped in one of those old boxes. If anyone out there is willing to suppl7y 4 mint example to complete my box I would like to hear from you.

[LongBlade]

Steve - ... I think I was sort of close when I said rocks ... Is that box even authentic or a good photocopy ??

Greg - That is pretty awesome even having 2 mint ones for the box at this point .. Good luck finding the others ..

[knifeaholic]

Ok seriously now, no further yuk-yuks...here is the real deal, one photo at a time...

Steve, sorry I almost ruined your fun back on the first page of your original post. I'm glad you continued to tease us. Still can't wait to see one fully unwrapped. Thanks for the entertainment and sharing your treasure. Steve B.
