XX 1993 on the 'bay .. .. ..

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.

XX 1993 on the 'bay .. .. ..

Post by royal0014 »

Ran across this 'un yesterday. Interested in what our resident experts have to say ...

I assume it to be a 'second' due to the xx on the main blade. It has what appears to be 3 different
tang stamps. Tested XX, Case Bros Bradford, and the early 90's date stamp of 1993!

::hmm::

Not saying it's a fake, because I don't know squat. ::handshake::

It is a Case Classic. The XX on the blade was an early stamp by Case Brothers in the early 1900's. The 0 in the pattern number is another clue along with the 1990's date. The Case Classic program was started by Jim Parker in the early 1990's. Most were made by Queen.

You are welcome. The Case Classics can make things confusing by bring back all of the old stampings.
