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.

Greg, nice addition! As I recall you might have more tortoise shell examples in your pre-1920 Case collection. ::tu:: ::tu::

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.

Here is one you don't see every day. In fact it is the only one I have ever seen. Usually think of a 72 pattern being a clasp knife.

W R Case & Sons Rogers bone serpentine pen 3 1/8" closed 6272

Thanks for looking ::tu::
