Case XX Coke Bottle

[Duffy]

Hello Folks, I just got in my hands a Case XX 61050 Coke Bottle pattern knife made in 1991. It is tang stamped, Case XX over Bradford, PA. , over 19USA91 on the front. The backside tang stamp has WINSTON CUP CHAMPION stamped on the back. It has burnt white bone handles with a gold bow tie shield that has Case XX written in it. The letter "C" spelled in Case on the shield is the long tail type with the "XX" under the long tail of the "C". Condition is like mint. No marks any where on it, never used or sharpened, probably never carried by the looks of it. It's really a great looking knife. Walk & Talk is nice on it. Now for my question, can anyone give me any info on a knife like this? Maybe a guess at the value? It doesn't have the pattern number on it anywhere that I can see, nor does it have "SS" or Stainless Steel marked anywhere on it. I'm guessing since there's no "SS" or Stainless Steel marked any where on it, it's carbon steel, correct? I know it's hard to guess at something like this without having it in hand or a picture of it but, I'm working on the getting the picture part. Thanks for any information anyone can give about this knife. duffy.

I would like to add that I'm not for sure the handles on this knife are burnt white bone, could maybe be second cut stag?

61050 indicates bone. dale earnhardt was the 1991 winston champ, alan kulwicki was the 1992 champ of winston cup. i looked in my books, nothing yet. might be part of the 20th anniversary set?

here's an add from an old catalog. item "h" might be your knife.

ive seen those knives and i believe they do have burnt white or natural bone handles. i dont think they made them in a series with other drivers in that pattern. i think it was either a limited edition or special factory order. as for the the value, the ones ive seen selling on ebay, the best i remember went for between 50-75.00.

I wasn't for sure about the handles johnnie because it doesn't have a pattern number stamped on it. I think CC has it right. "H" does look just like my knife. Does any body got a guess about the steel? SS or carbon? Thanks everyone. duffy.

I know I'm full of questions tonight but, does anyone know who was making hunting pattern knives for Case during 1990-1991? Also, can anyone take a guess at the type steel that the 1991 coke bottle winston cup champion knives were made from? I read a post on here that said if a Case XX knife isn't marked with "SS" or Stainless Steel, it's made of carbon steel. Is this right? Thanks for all the help. duffy
