Case Bradford Identification

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.

Case Bradford Identification

Post by Whoahosse »

Hello, I found a knife I had lost many years ago! I
Trying to identify it to see if it has any value! It says Case Bradford 6228 E0. It’s a two blade bone handle and the bone and blades are in really nice condition! Any help would be appreciated! Thanks, Jimmy

In a book called Pocket Knife Trader's Price Guide, there in the listings for Case Tested Knives {1920-1940}, is listed a 6228EO Greenbone, referred to as a Teardrop Easy Open. The book says mint value is $600.00.
Just quoting what the book said. There are some Case experts here on the forum that can possibly give more information. One thing you'll find, the knife is worth what folks are willing to pay.

Can't see the tip of the pen blade, but your knife looks to be in decent condition. You can always do an eBay Ended Listings search to see if any of these sold lately and for how much.
