Here's an old 6279 Case penknife with Green bone handles, from the early tested era. By most accounts that would put this knife somewhere around the early 20's. Note the early diamond shield. This knife is also marked on both blades.

Hi Bladerunner. That is a very nice looking penknife you have there . Thanks for sharing s-k

thats a great looking knife blade runner. the 6279 is on of my favorite patterns from case also and this one is mine, its a 10, 1970 red bone 6279 senator pen. its one of my favorites in my collection too.

Hi and thanks smiling knife, and Steve I can see why that 10 dot 79 pattern is one of your favorites, it has long been my belief that the 1970 10 dots have some of the most beautiful bone colors of all.
Gary

Steve, as you can see this aint no 79 pattern, but it is another 10 dot with some gorgeous bone.
Gary

This isn't in the same league with what you folks are showing, and it's not even a 79 pattern, , but it's the only Case pen knife I've got. It's a 10 dot 92042 (with no R), but it does have a bail. IMO, it's a nice little knife...even if it doesn't seem to be marked correctly.

P. S.
Yes, that is the eBay photo...I've GOT to take another one.

Hi. I have this MOP CASE penknife 053 SR with the 1950-1964 CASE XX Stainless mark. s-k

great looking knives! im especially envious of that trapper. i would love to come across a 10 dotter like that some day. i dont know what it is, but i do especially like the 10 dot knives especially the 70 knives. i guess because it was the first year of the dot system. heres a few more of my 10 dot collection.

another red bone and a 1970 stag eisenhower 05263

this one isnt a 10 dot of 79 pattern, but speaking of red bone handles, it has some really nice ones. its a 1965-69 congress 62052 that i just got the other day and the other is another of my favorite patterns, its a 1965-69 red bone cigar 62055.

Yep,Yep mighty fine looking weapons there Steve. The rest of you guys too!
