About the only Congress I have. Not as new nor as pretty as those shown thus far, but kind of an oddity. Really can't find any information on it. It's a CRANE BRAND from Robert Klaas of Kissing Crane fame, but only has one crane.

Hey TJ,

Wouldn't that make her a "Lonely Crane"?

Yeh, it probably would, or maybe, he just kicked her to the curb. I think I heard somewhere that the Kissing Cranes and the Henckel Twins were double dating. Just what I heard.

This is a 1973 6488 I really like. Wish it was a 1970 though.

Nice knives guys. :mrgreen: ::tu:: ::tu:: The congress is a favorite pattern of mine. I collected the Case 88's; 10dot and back but they became to expensive. Another beautiful large congress IMO; is the big S&M pearl with signature bolsters. I had one and let it go; now hard to fine.
