Opinions please

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.

Opinions please

Post by EWMailman »

I recently purchased this Tested knife at auction for less money (110) than I anticipated it would bring. After the fact, I wondered if I had missed something regarding either its authenticity or its actual value. I knew this would be the place to discover if I had made a serious blunder or not. Looking forward to hearing from you all.

I agree with the other comments. I've picked up a few of these from the same era and the blades weren't even close to what you've got there. Nice pick up for sure....oh, and those handles!! ::tu::

As a seller on eBay I can tell you that many is the times that something you sell goes for a lot less than you think it should. EBay is so fickle, a lot depends on how many watchers there are, how well known the seller is and if there is any feedback.
I have bought several items by watching everyones auctions and not just a select few, and sometimes I am the only bidder. You can get some real bargains that way.
Consider it one of those unusual circumstances that you were lucky enough to take advantage.

Those are not the regular jigged bone handles you generally see on those pruners. It looks like Rogers bone. Very nice ::tu::
