Tom, very nice! At first glance of the small picture I thought it was another Winterbottom example.

Thanks, Larry, Roger, and Jerry

Roger I wouldn't be surprised if it made its way in there

Very nice Tom, and what a rare stamp!

[olderdogs1]

Thanks Greg

[Mumbleypeg]

Great find Tom! Makes me wish again they'd use that worm groove jigged bone more today.

Thanks Ken, I wish they did as well. These W R Case & Son knives were contract knives so I am sure that played a part as well.

Here is another recent pickup, a W R Case & Sons small cigar 82055. This one is in really good condition for its age.

Thanks for looking

Hello all,

First post here and wanted to post a few knives that I have acquired recently. This little mother of pearl one is from Case Mfg. Co. Little Valley, NY and is 3-1/8" long. Really strong snap.

Thanks,
John

Thanks for looking.

Very awsome knives.

This one is from Case Brothers in Little Valley, NY. Think I am going to put this one and the next two knives on eBay as I have my eye on some other knives that I would rather have.

Thanks for posting those fine knives, John. It's nice to see the knives and the stamps.
And welcome here, a very nice entrance.

What would you call the pattern on that little Pearl knife?
Swayback?

It's a lovely looking knife sans bolsters.

[Mumbleypeg]

I call it a serpentine lobster, or dogleg lobster. The lobster comes from the way the blades open from both sides of the knife - when open it's like a lobster's claws (use your imagination ).

John,those 1st two are A+.

John, you sure have some nice ones, especially the doc knife.

Thank you Ken.
I didn't even notice the opposing blades. Forest thru the trees sort of thinking...
