I have three knives that are in mint condition still in paper wrap. They are Case XX knives that are from bradford PA. Listed on the package. They are real old is all I know. Was wondering if anyone knows anything about the following #'s
11011
2109
The other Knife has no number but has case xx in the middle of the blade and the blade is about 1 and 1/2 inches long and has a long wood handle or about 4 and 1/2 inches long. this knife does not flod. Blade looks like the blade that is in 2109 floding knife. I know this knifes to over 40 years old and my family has keep them in the org. pkg ing since grandfather pass on.
Was wondering what they were used for and what they are worth etc...
Any infor would be appreciated.

These are speciality knives that case made many years ago and very different if any one questions the numbers found on the blade. If need be I might be able to get some pics up some where for you to see them. Please help with value and what they were for. Very different.

HI!
We would love to see photo's or even better if you can scan them and get tight on the tang stamps would be great. We need to see the entire knife as close and clear as possible. If taking photos, use a white background. Color just makes it harder to see. Looking forward to seeing them

Got the pics up the best I could not sure how to put them on here. but you should be able to cut and paste the complete url to view. the spaces in the file name are important so just cut and paste I guess.
look forward to any infor you can give.

Just a helpful hint. When you hit "post reply" look at the lower right hand side of the box you type in and you will find a nice explaination as to "how to easily add a picture"
But you did get them posted and we all thank you for that. The first one doesn't come up on my computer so I can't comment. The next is a hawkbill with a wooden handle and appears "although fuzzy" to be from the the seventies. These aren't highly collectable in wood. If you find a number on the back side you can go the CASE identification section and get a price. My guess is $15 to $20 Only a guess though. Bryans list shows it to be worth about $56.00 so it depends on how bad you want one.
The next is a "budding knife" same as above, although I like them for collecting but the general populace doesn't seem to be attractted to them.
Next appears to be a paring knife. A kitchen utensil. Not collectable to most but no doubt some. I don't think this site addresses those in any way to my knowledge.
Paper work is always valuable as are boxes. I learn this past weekend that boxes can be more valuable then the knives themselves???? Odd I thought, but true.
Hopefully others will chime in with their thoughts. Thanks for letting us look.
