Help date/value vintage 3 pin Buck U.S.A. Ranger?

Hoyt Buck produced the first Buck Knife in 1902. Hoyt and his son Al moved to San Diego and set up shop as H.H. Buck & Son in 1947. Al Buck revolutionized the knife industry in 1964 with the infamous Model 110 Folding Hunter. The company's innovative history and attention to quality have made for many great collectible knives.

Help date/value vintage 3 pin Buck U.S.A. Ranger?

Post by BThompsonBoy »

Hey, selling off my late father's collection, unfortunately his records were not very good. Can anyone help me identify and value this knife?
- Only stamp says "Buck U.S.A." no model number
- 3 pin
- Just squeaks over 7" open
- Does have mild wear and tear, worst is some dimpling at base of handle in the pictures
Any help appreciated, thank you!

This link was posted on the other forum I frequent, and could be of use here:

There are also some sweet knives shown on that page if you scroll down a ways.

It’s a nice early knife. In that condition I would think $100 tops. You’d have to find a collector that needed it.

I failed to notice that the OP knife was a 112 ::facepalm:: Still, the link I posted may be useful.
