I had an old Kabar counter top display case. It was not as old as yours. Mine was from the 1950s with the Italic Kabar logo. It had a red background with white price buttons. The back of the cabinet had a locking door with storage inside for inventory. Inside the door was a metal tag stamped PROPERTY OF UNION CUTLERY CO. OLEAN, N.Y. I sold it a few years ago and don't have any photos. Hope this helps, Barry
