I have an old CASE knife that I would like to have more information on and it's worth point please.
CASE XX Stainless USA 5347HPS. The best I can find is that it's a Small Swell Center Jack made between 1965 - 1969. It doesn't have a badge on it. I'm not sure it ever did. Any additional information would be appreciated. Thanks.

It is a Queen knife, someone cut down and reshaped a Case blade to fit in the Queen frame.

Welcome to AAPK, longbow. For future reference there is a lot of good information about Case (and some other brands) available here by clicking on Research in the header at the top of this page. In the Case section there you will see handle shapes and sizes, handle materials, how to decipher the Case pattern numbers, date codes, etc. Some very useful information for a collector or owner of a genuine Case pocket knife.
From information there you can determine that as others have already pointed out, the 5347 pattern is a three-blade large stockman pattern, not a small two blade swell center jack. Your knife may be a good user. As a cobbled knife made from parts, its collector value is nil.
