Case Tested XX

Post by johns7076 »

Picked up this little Case today in an estate sale. In a box with misc. junk items. I found online the tang stamp to indicate 1919-1940 I think? Not sure what this pattern is called.

6233 small pen knife. Nice find - always enjoyed finding a treasure like that in a box of so-called junk. Many (including me) believe Case used the TESTED XX stamp until after WWII, at least until 1945 or later. I have knives that were made on contract for the military during WWII that are stamped TESTED XX.

Great find!
That knife looks to be in what I call "great user condition".
Not a museum piece - but then most of us don't own museums, do we?
It looks absolutely beautiful!
