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.

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::

Thanks Ken, Jerry, and Roger.
I really like the Red Winterbottom handles, hardly ever see one though. It is a small market. I know Jerry maybe has a couple. I would like to buy more if I can find them. The old Case Bros knives always appeal to me as I like the bone jigging on most of the old ones. ::tu::

That's interesting. I believe several members here are familiar with that museum. Who is the curator at the museum? I wasn't aware that they authenticated knives.
