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.
Got a little treat for my knife brothers & sisters today , these photos are of a piece of Case Classic history for sure!!! ....These ultra rare Elephant Toenail display cases are as rare & hard to come by as hens teeth, to get them full of knives to boot is another rarity in its self folks & that's pure fact ....For those of you that do not know, MR. Jim Parker had all Case Classic display cases made by MR. Gary Scott back in the day & each case was made with hardwood & etched glass, special attention in detail I would have to say friends & today's value, I just can't count that high right now but its safe to say ---->Big money!!! ....This ultra rare+ display case filled with knives belongs to knife collectors Jon & Stephanie, Stephanie is a member of the Case Classic Club & I had her permission to post these photos for your viewing pleasure today, enjoy & put them rain coats on your key boards before viewing these photos!
Special note; Left hand click on each photo friends to see more detail!
Hope all is well with you & yours, ya'll take care now, ya hear!

roger, is it true that if you lined up all yours and your pards toenails end to end, they would reach the moon?

Roger, don't know how I missed this till today but WOW,
Thank Jon & Stephanie for me. I love those cases, their so well made and I'm sure as you say, scarce. Mr. Parker was certainly a detail man.
