ULTRA RARE CASE CLASSIC HISTORY FROM ROGER-50/2050

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.

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! ::drool:: ::drool:: ::drool:: ::drool::
