Case XX stainless steel M3102 Lobster - How old?

Post by almyjmoore »

My wife found this little Case at the market yesterday. She likes the small shiny knives. The main blade is marked CASE XX stainless on one side and M3102 on the other side. The small blade is marked CASE XX stainless. The sources I checked say that mark was used between 1940 and 1965 or between 1950 and 1964. It looks new and was only $2 so I'm wondering if this knife was re-issued at a later date. Thanks, Al
