A couple of 1970's Case Pocket Knives

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.

Thanks tjmurphy ... I'm not sure if they had one for each state. I don't think they did but I could be wrong. If so, I got 49 more to go ::dang:: TD

The reason I ask is because Kentucky became a state in 1792 so it couldn't have been Kentucky's bi-Centennial. As an aside, my 6th great-grandfather came into Kentucky with Daniel Boone and was one of the original settlers of Boonesboro.

I'm not sure I know the answer as to why Kentucky. Boy that is so cool about your family history ::tu:: I like your signature as I'm a big fan of bluegrass as well as a musician. Leaving tomorrow for a family reunion where I will be playing my ol' Gallagher Doc Watson and one of my mandolins! TD

That stag sodbuster was part of a set of three knives, each released one year 1974, 1975, 1976.

The first knife was a G137 with green delrin handles, the second a P137 with pakkawood handles then the third in stag. They all had the same Kentucky Bicentennial etch.

I have a set of them available if anyone is interested.
