How did I miss this

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.

Larry, I think there are bargains like that out there but it sure is a lot of work searching for them and takes a lot of time.
Somebody either by accident or design got a great deal. ::tu::

Well, what do you know? I saw this auction and thought it must be either a fake, or a case classic! ::facepalm:: ::facepalm::

I saw that but did not bother to bid on it. The 5391 is a fake. I was pretty excited about the lot until I took a closer look.

Its different from the normal situation in that the seller had a fake but had no idea what value the fake had if it had been real. It was just another Case knife to the seller.

The tested candy stripe barlow in the same lot is a fake too.

Thanks Tim and Steve, I only look at the knives after the auction was over. Would have look harder before.
