Case & Case related knives over 100 years old

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 beauty Larry. Don't see that stamping often. And the jigging is special too. ::tu::

I picked this CASE BRO up the other day. Measures 3 1/4. Not sure what the pattern is but a pretty snappy little knife.

Thanks Greg Ken & Bill, I really like the bone too, the double pulls I think are a nice touch as well. Strong springs on this one which I have found to be pretty much the norm on Case Bros sunfish.

Thanks Greg, Larry & Ken. Posting another recent pickup. A Case Bros Springville NY, around 1912, mother of pearl pen knife. Interesting that the center pin is hidden on this one.

Thanks for looking! ::tu::
