Newest Case Pick-Ups

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.

That's a pretty incredible pick up Greg, stunning actually. OH

Beautiful Case 048. ::tu:: ::tu:: It looks like the stamp might say "Case XX U.S.A.". Does it have the "U.S.A." mark under the "Case XX" mark? If so, then the knife would date from 1965 through 1969.

Got a question, do you think the XX 6217 is bone or red bone? Both are unsharpened but the loom fixer does have a little spider web on the back of the main blade, no biggie though. Thanks for your thoughts!

How do I find out about the shows you guys are talking about ?
