NEED CASE HELP
Posted: Sat Feb 25, 2006 11:46 pm
Hey Folks:
Just got a couple of old case 6392's, both from 40-64 CASE/XX stamped,
the clips and sheepsfoot are about gone but not broken, the speys are in decent condition. I have pictured them side by side showing the handle breaks, one is on shield side at center rivet, a chunk about 3/4" is gone,the other is on opposite of second knife side at same place but much smaller nick. Most of the blades walk and talk now, None have yet to be cleaned or oiled. The bolsters are in very good condition.
The question is, what would be a good auction start for both combined, should a reserve be placed, Im not married to the two but I do believe there is some value there. Or are they ready for the last stop. red bone handles.
Thanks for any and all help.
