Finally finished this Case Countertop Display

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.

After a long battle, I am finally finished putting together this Case Countertop Knife Display from the 1960's and 70's. What do you guys think, and do you have a similar Display? donjr

Wow! That reminds me A LOT of the case I would drool over when I was a kid and I would go with my Dad to the local hardware store.

Would you mind posting an inventory of everything in there? I especially like all the pens in the upper left. (I'm a small knife guy)

Outstanding displays - great way to show and store your knives (be sure to keep them out of sunlight though).

Greg,
I would love to find another display, but they are getting harder and harder to find in good original condition, and at a fair price. But, I am always looking for them! Thanks for your Very Kind Words! donjr,

Very nice displays, Don and espn77 . I guess that is a good way to focus your collecting when you need to fill a display like that.

I'm 2F0X1
Came in in 1980 as 325X0, Automatic Flight Controls, aka Auto Pilot.
In the late 80s, I think it was, they combined three career fields into one.
My discharge papers have both T2A4X1 and T2A4X2, both avionics maintenance on the heavies. The T to designate my time as an FTD trainer/instructor.
I spent seven years teaching both flight line and in shop. Also taught high reliability soldering and a course on how to develop courses - 13 total. Absolutely loved teaching.
Retired in 2000. I'd do it all over again even if it all went down exactly the same.

And to you, Sir, thanks for serving!
Take care and God bless,
