Mother of Pearl with ruby?

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.

Mother of Pearl with ruby?

Post by walkertxr »

I recently was given a case knife as a gift and would like to know what the value of this beautiful knife would be? the box it came in says it is "Mother of Pearl w/Ruby" and says is was made in 12/17/2002. The blade says it is 10 of 50 and model # "81953 L". Below is a picture. Any info would be great. Thanks

200-300 range if you ask me, with patience or the right buyer could maybe pull 300-400.

I have seen a few of these in the past, I don't imagine to many were made.

It's a modified case russlock and per the tang stamp, the unmodified knife was made in 2002.
