W.R. Case & Son. 1902-05 ???? O'.

I really like this possibility, O', but I see no room for Little Valley, NY
or Cutlery Co. or Bradford Pa., but they may have used a smaller stamp to accommodate the small tang.
That wouldn't be unheard of.
I think I'll be carrying it soon.

Thank you.

Looks like an old Case pattern and shield? O'.

I think I'll adopt that description for the knife.

Mike the fleam blade really sets that one apart.

Very nice condition, too.

The knife in the bottom photo is interesting. Don't recall ever seeing one like that before. Is it a specialty knife of some sort? Curious about the cap bolster situation...what's that all about?

Thanks fellers. The bottom picture is of a 7-inch closed skinning knife with a gut hook at the end. Patent 1,065,863 6/24/1913 Carter, Issac T., of Emmitsburg, IA - Skinning Knife (Gut Hook in Notched Handle with Hooked Blade), (made by Miller Brothers "Carter Skinning Knife") I think Miller Bros. only made this pattern for a few years. The etch is there but faint. The gut hook is sharp and it closes.
MB told me most of the above years ago when I first bought it.

Both are great but I love the gut hook knife Mike, I wouldn't even need an etch.
That skinning blade is so

I saw 2 of these at the Shenandoah Valley show, I think one belonged to Gene. Very impressive size, I think Gene said these were made for a Chicago butcher.
