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.

Nice pickup. Very nice!
That man is a success who has lived well, laughed often and loved much; who leaves the world better than he found it; who never lacked appreciation of earth's beauty or failed to express it; who looked for the best in other's and gave the best he had.
Hey daus!
Congratulations, great knife! Just noticed your location, Malone. We're almost neighbors, you are north and east of us over in Washington County.

Two recent pickups, the 1st is a Tested GREENBONE 6240 dogleg trapper, the 2nd is a W R Case & Sons 62026LP in ROGERS BONE.
I got the doctors knife from Ray "Paladin" on AAPK.
Thanks for looking.
Thanks Larry, The W R Doctor's knife is only 2 7/8" closed. This is the 1st one of these I have seen. Jim Sargent shows one on page 89 of Volume 7 although with celluloid handles. As is the case with a lot of the W R Case & Sons knives, this one has the pattern number stamped on the small blade tang.
It's to note how the earlier it seems (for the most part) for a pattern,the more detail was incorporated. In the case of the Dr's knife,the curve in the handle to fit the hand,like a pruner does.At this time,more companies,more competition and demand, until towards the Depression.
