[Cleamee]

hi, i have a case knife. its a yellow handle trapper. on the tang, it reads case xx and underneath that it has bradford, pa. it has no dots on it anywhere. on the second blade it has 3254 for the pattern number. i was wondering if someone could tell me it what era of case knives it was made. any help is appreciated.

Without good, in-focus pictures of the knife and tang stamp it will be difficult to answer your question.
The tang stamp is important, but there is more than just that when identifying a knife.

Still, here is a link to some tang stamp charts, to help you out some.

Sounds like an early 1990's knife, 1990 to 1993. You may be able to barely read the year - as in 19 USA 90.

Click on “Research” in the header at the top of this page. When that opens, scroll down to “W.R. Case pocket knife age identification”. Click on that which will open a tutorial on how determine the age of Case pocket knives. Compare the stamp on your knife with the stamps shown.

I agree with Steve. From your description it sounds like 1990-1993. For example:

CASE XX
BRADFORD, PA.
19USA91
