This is the Fifth series of the Johnnie Fain Estate knife auctions.
Johnnie was a friend of all on AAPK as well as an AAPK Moderator. Johnnie passed away unexpectedly in April of this year. I am helping Johnnie’s widow Annettee by auctioning off many knives from Johnnie’s collection. AAPK members have been most generous in helping Annettee by bidding liberally in these auctions. Any member of AAPK can bid on these knives.


This auction is for a Case Whaler.

MAKER: Case
PATTERN: Rope knife
BLADE: Large stainless sheepfoot
CLOSED LENGTH: 4 inches
HANDLES: wood with CASE XX WHALER stamped into it.
FRONT TANG STAMP: CASE XX/STAINLESS/U.S.A./….
REAR TANG STAMP: 1199/SH R
CONDITION: Appears to be unused and unsharpened.
DAMAGE: none noted
AGE: unknown
COUNTRY OF ORIGIN: USA
BLADE WEAR: none
SHIELD AND BLADE ETCH: none
SNAP: Like a bear trap. Watch your fingers!
ADDITIONAL INFO: An excellent rope knife with shackle.

This auction will end at 12 Noon, Pacific Daylight Time, Monday, October 19th, 2009 if there have been no bids within 2 hours of that time. If there have been bids, the auction will continue until such time as there are no bids for 2 consecutive hours.
At that time the high bidder will be declared the winner.
Payment is to be by money order. Upon receipt of payment the knife will be shipped.

The payment price will be the winning bid plus $8.00 for shipping via Priority Mail with insurance and delivery confirmation.
The knife will be well packaged to prevent damage.

Feel free to PM or email me with any questions.

Thank you and happy bidding,
Dale

NOTE: I will combine shipping for those who win more than one item.

OK Guys,
The auction ended at Noon Pacific Daylight Time today since there were no bids within two hours of the Noon closing time.

Congratulations! ::tu::

I will be contacting you via email or PM to let you know where to send the money order.
If you have won more than one auction I will send you the total for all auctions in that email.
I will ship the item(s) you won when I receive your money order.

Thanks again for helping Johnnie’s wife.
It is a good thing to do in Johnnies memory.

Dale
