Identification for this CASE XX

The W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery Company has a very rich history that began in 1889 when William Russell (“W.R.”), Jean, John, and Andrew Case began fashioning their knives and selling them along a wagon trail in upstate New York. The company has produced countless treasures and it continues to do so as one of the most collected brands in the world.

jhoward,
One of my older reference books shows that to be an 1139, closed length 4 1/4", Walnut handle, brass lining, called a Banana.
