RSCO6347, MCMXCIV, Pocket worn red. What is "RSCO"?

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.

RSCO6347, MCMXCIV, Pocket worn red. What is "RSCO"?

Post by Casecase »

I have an interesting piece (near mint, no box) that I intend to sell and wish to identify properly. It is a stockman/whittler pattern (3 backsprings, no taper, with small clip & coping blade at one end, full size clip at the other in Stainless Steel), red pocketworn bone from 1994. The date is in Roman numerals (MCMXCIV) and here's my question: preceding the pattern number (6347) are the letters "RSCO". Can you provide a clue as to their meaning and also to the scarcity of the knife? I'm assuming SFO. Thanks and Merry Christmas!

I searched the world wide web hard just out of curiosity and couldn't find any reference so I am curious as to what the gurus tell you. I'm new with Case collecting and try to suck up all the knowledge I can so it shall be a learning experience for us both. Sure is a super nice Knife ::drool::

Casecase, I sent you a PM. OH
