Thanks, anyone that has as many as you is professional enough for me, I did ok , I can get a 4 blade congress and 3 blade stockman and 2 blade trapper all in boxes with same club details. All are 1 of 51, would the values be close. to the hunters. I almost bought them and I can still get them, was just unsure at the time, Donnie

"What is it worth" is now usually established by what they sell for on ebay. Mr. Blister knows knives, so with some trepidation i suggest his $200-$300 estimate is on the high side because the Col. Coon brand is collected by only a few of us 'knifers'.
It would be good if a few more members chimed in.

Club knives and advertising knives usually don't bring premium prices (in fact there is usually a bit of a discount) unless the buyer belongs to that club or has a connection with the advertised product. Just an observation.
Edit: As Roland has opined, Colonel Coon collectors are not found standing on every corner.

That was why I was inquiring, I knew they would not bring price of one that was not club knife, but did not know how much less, The older coons in my area are almost non-existent. I have a lot of respect for someone like Harris and the knives he built. Thanks, Donnie
