Case Classics STILL undervalued.
Re: Case Classics STILL undervalued.
Elephant ivory, paua, red stag, dirt cheap these days? Okaaay. I’ll just pass them to the kids and let them worry about the loss decades from now. Spilt milk for my purposes I guess. Learn something new every day, die and forget it all. Cela vie.

Re: Case Classics STILL undervalued.
That sounds like a very reasonable philosophy Railsplitter. I’ve enjoyed having and maintaining the knives and still do. And it’s always possible they could regain a modicum of value In the future. I’d rather be sitting with a collection of actual, usable knives (tools) in front of me than a collection of fiat cash who’s value could go to zero at any time. That’s consolation in its own right. If the SHTF, knives and bullets will be a much more precious commodity than linen federal reserve notes. Hard assets & usable tools will rule and paper cash will be used to insulate houses, start fires, etc, Weimar style. Lol.
Ken. Amen! That same method has kept me in the poor house for 50 years. Why change what works?? Lol

I don't believe Case Classics are under valued. It's just that at one time they were way over valued.

Re: Case Classics STILL undervalued.
Were all of the Case Classics made by Queen ?
I think part of the reason for relatively low prices now is that they do not fir in with a Case collection because Case was not involved in making them.
For Queen collectors you can get the same patterns with Queen markings.
The Case Classics are a collectible group on their own so appeal to fewer collectors.

See the post from Roger on the first page of this thread. There were 4 Case Classic patterns made by Case in house. All of the other Case Classics were made by Queen.kootenay joe wrote: ↑Fri Jan 17, 2020 9:41 pm Were all of the Case Classics made by Queen ?
