Hello All,
Its been a few days and no one has said a word. I know better than to think that no one here has not captured a knife or something else knife related for the most part at a steal...... Fess up All

Bonehead
I did not get lucky enough to get a knife, but perhaps something else

After consulting a resident REM PRO
(whoom I put a LOT of faith in) (and is VERY generous with his knowledge)
I sent a shyster offer which was accepted.

Peanut740,
Keep us informed, I will do the same. Some bid me way up on one item and dumped me, oh well. Not what I wanted to pay but there were items here you do not see. I did try for one particular item but missed by perhaps (1) bid. That said I've been playing enough that I'm happy with my choices. BH

Its all good!

I guess we are guilty of running up the price on each other. I bid on the Tidioute ebony too but it didn't take my last bid of $400. So I chased the Case Bros instead. TRADE YA LOL

One of the what I considered the pick of the litter was going cheap and I bid on it a couple times.I ended up not getting it, but it was the last auction to close.It keep getting extended and has result I missed out on a couple I wanted, because if I got the big dollar knife my credit card bill would have been real BAD.

Also in the same lot are a couple Maher & Grosh invoices.The pink one is from 1910.And the blue one from 1882.

And last but certainly not least is an original 1929 Maher & Grosh catalog in the original envelope.Also in the catalog was an original unused order form.

These 2 blades are Case Brothers factory control samples for the 51 pattern sunfish knife.The pen blades in the 51 were long and slim.
