Elvis trapper

The W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery Company has a very rich history that began in 1889 when William Russell (“W.R.”), Jean, John, and Andrew Case began fashioning their knives and selling them along a wagon trail in upstate New York. The company has produced countless treasures and it continues to do so as one of the most collected brands in the world.

Their was no price tag so the lady texted a picture of it to the booth owner. Came back as $38. Can't per fleabay if average as only a couple with a different marking on the secondary blade. spay blade? When I was ready too leave I said; no I did not jerk tears for Elvis, and yes my grandmother did not like the way he gyrated his hips on TV. I do like his later movies and songs. on another note I met a man that was stationed with him in Germany. Solders asked him for off base money and he said don't bother to pay me back. Said he was a really nice guy. ::tu::

Bob here is one I bought about three years ago. It's stamped 1989 and since I collect the dog leg trapper i bought it for around $45 I believe. Hey if you grew up in the late 50's and 60's you gotta have at least one piece of Elvis memorabilia. ::nod::
