Case 53131P - help with identification / valuation

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.

Case 53131P - help with identification / valuation

Post by kingofnoise »

Good day. I'm hoping someone might be able to help me identify a Case pocket knife I have in my possession. Markings show the model as 53131P and Case Bros. Springville. I inherited this knife from my father several years ago. He received it from his father prior to 1955, when my grandfather passed.

I've included some photos of the knife, though the blade markings did not show up very well.

Any assistance or advice on this knife would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.

Brad

Beautiful Old Knife, look like a Case Bros. Springville , a very rare knife. It was your Grandfather 's so that makes it priceless. Thank you for showing us.

Wow that is one rare bird. Hard to put a price on a knife that rare but I am sure there is many a collector that would love to dig down deep in their pockets for that one. Springville stamp dates it c. 1912 - 1915.
