Starting Over

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.

Larry, looks like you're trying to corner the greenbone market! :lol: The variety of patterns in that picture is wonderful - the width of the toenail vs the slim citrus knife for example. A great tutorial on diversity of knife patterns all in one picture!

Fantastic group Larry! My eye went to the 94's :) . The 61050L is super nice. Is that a couple of 055's near the lower right corner?

I have just read this post for the first time. I am typically a lurker and not a poster, but after seeing this I just had to comment. What a GREAT set of old greenbones. I am sure that you have had to look long and hard to do this in a very short amount of time. I for one am jealous of a great collection of these knives not to mention the short amount of time you have done this in.
There is one thing that I would like to know. What is it that you do for a living? And if you are retired, what did you do for a living?
thanks

Larry I'd love to see you display your greenbone collection at a show some time.

I don't think I'd be the only one who'd love to see them.

Larry I don't know whether that 47J or the congress whittler is the most rare, but they're both beauties!

Larry, super nice additions. ::tu:: ::tu::

Didn't you have a green bone Case Tested XX 6247J before you started over? :D If I am remembering correctly, the bone is lighter on your new one is lighter and prettier - looks like an upgrade.
