A Case Tested Letter opener knife

Found this a few years ago at a flea market.Didn't pay much for it(less than $5).Several people have told me that they don't exist.I doubt someone would go to the trouble of faking one.It is in great shape and the celluloid shows no signs of deterioration(knocks feverishly on wood).For your enjoyment and comment.

...part way down the page for a little history about the Hanley Co., a PA. company. Why not a SFO from Case?

Nice piece, and 100% real. I think that Sargent's book shows one like it.
