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 Roger, Zach, Jerry, and Larry,

Sargent’s 7th edition has a picture of one like this with this blade configuration with the caption “extremely rare”
Think I will hold on to this one for awhile at least.

Jerry you have an excellent memory that will be my third tortoise shell, although one is actually one of the Friedman & Lauterjung Electrics and the other is a Case Bros.
