Please help identify this old Case knife.

Post by E&P »

Please see pix of the knife below. Unfortunately, I do not have a camera that will capture the stamp on the tang.


Hello,
My husband recently purchased what looks to be a very old Case knife. The stamp on the tang says "W. R. Case & Sons Bradford, PA". On the other side of the tang the following numbers appear: either 61085 or 61035. It is a black, folding, single blade knife, approximately 5-6 inches long when closed, and on one end has what appears to be a "boot" shape that could work as a bottle opener. We searched the numbering system on this website but could not find this knife and have been unable to find it anywhere online. We believe it was manufactured between 1905 and 1914. Does anyone have any clue what this knife is? Any information would be appreciated. Thank you. E&P in Southern WV.

welcome to the site. post some detailed pics please. we'll try to sort it out for you. the blade # does not seem to go with a large boot knife.
