A wonderful old CASE 3-blade pocket knife for your inspection & appreciation.
The knife is3 5/8" in the closed position, with a 2 3/4" main blade, a 2" second blade, & a 1 3/4" third blade.
All blades are hollow-ground & appear unsharpened. Only the main blade is marked or numbered with: a c 9, & the only other indication or origin is on an oval CASE emblem on one scale.
The blades are patinated & have some pepper marks. The knife blades are devoid of rust or nicks. (Any yellow coloring on blades, etc., is a reflection from our porch ceiling.) Each blade opens stiffly & closes with a strong snap.
The second blade has tiny 1/64" size piece broken off the point, which may not show in the photos. The bolsters appear to be nickle or nickle-silver & are without scratches, nicks, or dents.
The red bone scales are held in place with 3 brass pins & the scales are jigged. They have no cracks, chips, or nicks & really are excellent.
The knife is believed to be an early model & may date c. 1920 - 1930.
For it's age, the knife is in excellent condition, a perfect addition to a good collection of older American-made knives. Thank you for stopping by The Treasure Chest.(Item ID:SS-09) |
