New Duds for a Pair of Case XX U.S.A (No Dots) Folders

I recently picked up these two late 1960's Case folders (3299 1/2 and 3347 HP) that were well into the "shrinky-dink" stage of decomposition (first 3 pics). The shrinkage/decomposition process of the yellow composite handle knives that Case made during this period didn't do any of the "outgassing" damage exhibited by earlier celluloid handled knives (as far as I know), but certainly made a mess of things. Since these two were from the same period and all of the metal parts on both looked like completely unused, I went with Sambar stag on both of these bad boys.
