Re: Trying to identify, no #
Welcome to AAPK.
Just from the picture it looks like a Peanut which would make the pattern # x220 (x being the handle material number). Is it 2¾" closed?
Made in 2006 in case you didn't already know that. (Edit: or not)

Thank you for your reply. Measures 3 3/8" closed. Is it common for CASE XX knives to be unmarked (no #)?

Welcome to the forum jhoward!
I believe you have a CASE 62087. That would measure 3-1/4" if it is an 087 pattern.
I think that you have an older frame 087 (possibly a XX frame based on the shield) with replaced newer blades.
As Jerry asked, what is the closed length? EDIT, looks like you just answered that, disregard

As I said, I think the knife has an old frame with replaced blades. I also believe it is and 087 pattern.
As to your question, in the early 20s to ~1950', CASE knives without pattern numbers were common.
Best I can tell from the provided pics, the shield (and the frame, in my opinion) was used in the roughly 1940' to 1960' timeframe and the mainblade year stamp is post 2000'. The knife has had the blades replaced in my opinion. My guess is that the mainblade came from a 2 or 3 blade knife and that the donor knife had the pattern # on one of the secondary blades.
The attached pic is one of my XX era (1940 to 1964) 62087 knives. The mainblade does have the pattern number on the pile side mainblade tang which would make it roughly~ 1950' to 1964'.

Also, I just measure the knife pictured above and it is in fact 3-3/8".

Jerry, the main blade is from a 2006 knife.

Re: Trying to identify, no #
Thanks JerryD. I just looked briefly, that is why I stated "post 2000". I wasn't too concerned about exact year since the knife has been rebladed in my opinion.jerryd6818 wrote:Jerry, the main blade is from a 2006 knife.
