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.

I was hoping to visit the Warwarsing museum this year myself - plus visit the Baseball Hall of Fame in Cooperstown - but it looks like it is now on next year's list. For reference, here is a low resolution picture of another Case Bradford 5395. Not my knife (almost was :() and not my picture. It was in an old collection that was auctioned.

That M100 is a great find, especially in that condition. ::tu:: ::tu:: I've been looking for one for years. My grandpa carried an M100 but his had red handles, and was well-used. Yours is in a lot better shape than his was! :lol:

When the people fear their government, that is tyranny. When government fears the people, that is freedom.
