Re: Case & Case related knives over 100 years old
These pictures show a Case Bros Springville 94 large cigar pattern that is 4 1/4 inches closed. Both blades are marked. As described in earlier posts in the thread the Springville mark is rare because Case Bros made knives in Springville for only 2 years during 1913 and 1914 and then closed down.
I believe the handles are American Walnut and would be grateful for either confirmation or correction. I think the pattern number is 06294, but it could be 01294 where the "1" indicates walnut. I have some other old wood handled Case knives with the pattern number stamped where the handle designating number in the pattern number is a "6" on some knives and a "2" on others. A "6" normally means bone and a "2" normally means slick black handles. I would also be grateful for any insights / opinions on the pattern number.
This was a working knife as evidenced by the sharpening, dings and other wear and tear. It still has its blade snap.

Great old Case RA! I don't recall ever seeing a wood handled 94 before. Thanks for sharing.

Re: Case & Case related knives over 100 years old
Nice looking knives, Greg and Jerry
Jerry I would probably go with the 1 handle number on that knife, seems more accurate to me than 2 or 6. I would go with the 01294 for the pattern number also. May or may not be correct but that is what I would call it. Not going to find any Case Bros knife with a pattern number stamped.

Re: Case & Case related knives over 100 years old
Rare stamp and interesting knives Jerry. I would have guessed the pattern to be 01294, given the handles appear to be walnut. But I too have noticed the same anomalies.RalphAlsip wrote:

For example it's always been a mystery to me why the Case Knife-Ax combo sets having walnut handles are pattern numbered 261 instead of 161. These sets first appeared around 1935 if I'm not mistaken. When I recently asked Case why the walnut handled sets weren't numbered 161, they replied it was a mystery to them also. They had been curious about it too but when they researched the available records they could not find anything to explain it.
