Great pick ups Tom! I guess the the early bird really does get the worm!

Thanks everyone for the nice comments on these two,I like the whittler the best but will always go after the red Winterbottom Knives when I find them.
Greg, I tried worms for bait but ended up using $100 dollar bills.

Tom

Tom,that works best!

Those $100 bills will work nearly every time Tom! Nice scores!

Another blade show pickup. W. R. Case & Son Red Winterbottom easy open 61028 1903-05. When I got home I found it was the same knife pictured in Sargent's 7th edition.

Thanks for looking

Tom, Beautiful Knife, another Red Winterbottom

Tom, fantastic Red Winterbottom 61028. You are getting a great start on Volume 2 of your book (lol).

[Quick Steel]

Tom, that is a beauty and in a very favorite pattern, E/O.

Thanks everyone for the comments on my knives. Another pickup at the blade show was a Case Bros Springville Castrating knife 1912. Most Castrating knives in my experience had Metal handles but this one has hard rubber handles. Rare stamp, doubt it ever gets used for its intended purpose

Thanks for looking

Tom, Dang, another great 107 year old knife

[olderdogs1]

Here is a recent pickup and unlike any I have seen in the past. A Case Bros Little Valley 1900-1912 stag 4 blade congress 3 1/4" closed. It has square bolsters and I would tend to think this one is rare.

Thanks for looking

Tom, Very Rare Knife. Wow, Man, you keep finding these jewels.

[Quick Steel]

And it appears to be in fine condition. Congratulations!

Thanks, Larry, QS, and Jerry,
I appreciate the comments. They are getting harder to find. Still a few out there.

Tom, another beautiful old rare Case knife. The bar shield (if that is what it is called) occurs very frequently from what I can remember seeing. If I recall correctly you have a WR 5388 with the same shield.

[olderdogs1]

Thanks,Jerry,I do have a 5388 and a 5488 WR Case & Sons with that shield. I have always thought they were contract knives but not sure. The 88’s are bigger knives of course. I have never seen this shield on a Case Bros Knife before though.
