Please Help!! 65-69 6220 1/2 Identification

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.

Please Help!! 65-69 6220 1/2 Identification

Post by dto1982 »

I've got this knife but I cant figure out what exactly it is. The pattern says trapper nut but it doesnt look like a trapper nut and the dating is all wrong. I've seen one other on ebay so I know I'm reading it correctly. Anybody know exactly what this little knife is? Value?

Don't know what's going on but the pattern number of that knife should be 6202 1/2 if it is 3 3/8" long.

Actually, it appears to be a 6229 1/2. Also known as a Tadpole.

Looks to me like a 6229-1/2, also known as a Tadpole. Smallest knife Case made. If it's 2-1/2 inches long that confirms it's a Tadpole. Yours looks like a nice one. The U.S.A. versions are less common but some have sold on eBay recently so check those sold listings for value.
