Here's an old postcard that's on ebay right now. Auction ends in a couple of hours. Thought it was interesting. Don't see much marked Case MFG. Goins doesn't show a plant in Unionville, CT. Is this a cutlery plant or not. I'll bet paknives will know.

But is it CASE knives????? I am not sure, Looks like the plant in Springville NY, I am not sure about CT. THis would be new to me.. Wish I would have seen this sooner. They were put together in Little Valley, Springville and Warren PA. NOtice I said put together not manufactured. But just because the card says MFG. I don't believe the photo is dated accordingly with the tang stamp dating. I found this to be true with display boxes too. Tangs and other markings don't also match up date wise. So Do, but not all.
Thanks
Thanks

I don't think it looks like the Springville plant. Here is a picture of it. I don't know. Thanks for the info, though.
Have you gotten the little dollar knife fixed, yet?

Power lines should be a clue to help in dating.
