Posted: Mon Feb 20, 2012 4:10 pm
OK, all you experts out there, please help in ID and value of the following three Case knives.
#1. 3 5/8" 2 blade Doctor's knife, Barehead with white composition handles with (shrinkage). The oval case shield has RAISED CASE LETTERS. Front tang markings are, W.R. CASE & SONS, CUTLERY CO. BRADFORD, PA. ON Three lines. The back tang, 1-285, SOLINGEN, GERMANY on three lines, WHAT DO I HAVE?
#2. 3 5/8" single blade, appears to be a copperhead but it's shorter, has a single "locking" clip blade. Stag handles, front tang markings indicate a 1998 Mfg. year, back tang markings read 51749 L SS, SAME QUESTION, WHAT DO I HAVE.
#3. 3" two bladed, bone handled in the shape of a budding knife but with spear blades, tang markings indicate mfg. date of 1998, and has 6215 SS markings on the smaller blade, never have seen this number?
Your Help will be appreciated as I am doing this for a friend who could use a little extra cash about now.
Thank You, Dale Miller
