I love finding these early Case boxes...

[peanut740]

Steve,it doesn`t look like you will have to look far for a matching knife!

Six words for you this morning, your a mean one Mr. Grinch

[knifeaholic]

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

[LongBlade]

I knew it was rocks .... now if the knife patterns match the box label this find rocks ...

[doglegg]

What a find! I'm excited and not for sure what they look like but I have a hint.

[steve99f]

Seems to me to be a problem for the collector with this. Do you unwrap to confirm the contents and establish the era made or leave it as is. Is it more valuable as is?

An amazing find Steve, congratulations.

[gsmith7158]

How could you not unwrap them?

[steve99f]

At least one anyway.

[XxTestedxX]

This isn’t fair

[rexstubbins]

c'mon Steve. We're begging you. Please!!!

[philco]

I think he's taken the weekend off.

[313 Mike]

Well, I guess we will never know...

[Old Folder]

Any day now Steve.
I have a uncontrolled pattern of behavior that make me check here every day for the results.

[doglegg]

OF I am beginning to develop a tick to go along with my acquired OCD from coming back and checking this post. this post. this post.

[gearhead]

Ok, glad im not the only one that keeps coming back here to see in that box. that box.

[bestgear]

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!

[peanut740]

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...

~Q~

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).
