All About Pocket Knives

i just won these three one is a 6208 the other is a 9233,and the last one is a advertising case xx for ew hardware supply any info or value on these would be great i paid 60.00 for them handles seller says are in great shape just a few minor scratches on the blades thanks,

Would definitely need to see both sides to make any real judgment, would need to know how they walked and talked, any cracks or chips etc. It is also extremely important to know what the tang stamps says, especially on Case knives, as that can make a considerable difference. The title to your post says Case XX, that term is used fast and loose on Ebay and can mean practically any Case knife. You would really need to see the mark side of that 6208, and get a good look at the shield, and that would seem, to me, to be the key to the value of the lot.

The little advertiser seems to be in good shape and is probably worth something if it's a Case, however the 9233 looks like it's had it's main blade reshaped and that will really detract from the value. The tang stamp will still make a difference on both of them.

from what i can tell from the pic, the 6208 looks to have apaloosa bone handles, so i would guess it was made around 1979-1980. its hard to tell about the black one and the 9233 without seeing the stamps, but the main blade on the 9233 does look like it has been tipped at some point and reshaped. the values would depend on when they were made and the overall conditions.

I watch alot of Pen knives on E-Bay, my guess:

The Appalosa bone maybe $ 30.00. Blades appear scratched or sharpened. If it's mint....$ 45.00 - 55.00 max.

The Yellow one $ 15 - $ 25. If its pre 1970......would be a different story. Depending on the year could go to say $ 60.00 if it's before 1965.

The other one......just hope you find a few people that collect Hardware store ad knives, without that $ 7 - $ 15
