Assistance w/a Copperlock

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.

Assistance w/a Copperlock

Post by royal0014 »

Can someone help me date this stamp? I purchased the knife around 2005 - 07.
It doesn't exactly match the info in the Case research here on aapk. I'm still looking for my copy of Steve Phiffers book .... ::facepalm::
Wasn't there something about 'floating dots' in the early years of the pattern ?

Yes, this stamp is called "floating dots".
Used only on lockbacks.
This one is 1997.
