Case XX toothpick

Post by jpthrlz »

I just picked up a rusted old Case toothpick at a garage sale for fifty cents. I could hardly get it open, but at that price I could not let it get away. After Naval Jelly and an eraser, I discovered the tang stamp of CASE XX and the number 61093. There is no sign of grinding, and the blade silhouette seems true, although the blade has discolored some. I can't find anything like it on ebay, and I was wondering if it had any value.

it sounds like it could be a 1940-64 toothpick, if there is no usa or dots on the knife. its hard to say what the value could be, but yes i would say it has value. can you post a pic?

yes, thats a 1940-64 model and looks like red bone handles and it looks to be in pretty good shape. its hard to say what it would bring, but i would say it would fetch a pretty good price.
