Case Bulldog question

[PA Knives]

I have been gifted a CASE Bulldog. It's in the black box with no name on it. The knife does not have a pattern number on it. The blade has hand made on the back of the blade. I can't see a XX under the case name. I assume it's an early model but I wanted to ask here Any idea on value ?

I would say it’s the XX model, and the pattern is of course 5172. For some reason on the 1st models it is really hard to see part of the XX s. Sometimes if you look really close you may be able to see the very top of the XXs.

My concern is no pattern number or name on the black box

[olderdogs1]

If the knife is a XX era a lot of knives with that stamping didn’t have pattern numbers stamped so that wouldn’t concern me. As far as no name on the box I sure don’t know. I suppose it could have disappeared through the years or perhaps never had a name on the box. Someone will knowledge on that will hopefully see this and comment.
