Newest Case Pick-Ups

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.

I'll agree with Q and edge213, a good one!
The stamp matches up with Knifeaholics' info, pg. 17 of his 1st book showing the full stamp and with an explanation-"this variation is the long tail C often used on larger knives."
What a fine-looking old Case! ::tu::

That is a beautiful knife Mike, those bone handles are fantastic, love that old Case green bone. No one else has been able to duplicate it, so unique.

Very recently, this pocket knife arrived and it now becomes the latest example to join this topic or thread and to join my general pocket knife collection. It came in a very large group or lot of pocket knives that I bought. I was happy to discover it, but I did not buy the group or lot for this particular pocket knife. It is a (1987) CASE XX, 41059 L SSP, one blade, two tang stamps, 3" closed, advertising or commemorative pocket knife. The main blade front tang stamp says "CASE XX (over) SS with 3 dots (over) USA" The main blade back tang stamp says "41059 L (over) SSP" The main handle side says "75th Anniversary of Auto Automation - 1912-FIRST AUTO ASSEMBLY LINE" and the other handle side says "HASTINGS (with an arrow through it) - graphics of a car being assembled - CASITE (inside an oval)" Even with three very tiny handle cracks, it is in VERY GOOD condition. The blade has good opening and closing snap with no wobble at all. This pocket knife needed absolutely no cleaning at all. I took some pictures and here it is.
Caption(s), if any, are on the BOTTOM of the corresponding picture(s).

Nice find, Skip. Cool little collectible knife. 8) ::tu::

My newest Case pick-up comes from the same era but is a different pattern. This 1988 G6107 Mini Trapper has "modern" Greenbone covers (hence the "G" in the pattern number), which clearly is nothing like the pre-1980s Case Greenbone that is so popular and sought after by collectors (myself included). Nevertheless, this knife is in mint condition with original factory edge and surprisingly good snap. I suspect that the "529" stamped on the mark side pivot bolster indicates it is from a limited run, although I have no idea exactly how many knives were produced in the run (probably a lot as per usual for Case knives from this era). It has the raised-letter oval shield.

Another day, another Mini Trapper! :lol: This one is from 1978, right near the end of the era when Case was still making knives with a gator snap, i.e., the good ol' days! This one is similar to my very first Case knife: a 1975 Brown Bone (or possibly Delrin, I wouldn't have known the difference back then) 6207 Mini Trapper. I think that was the beginning of my love affair with pocket knives and Mini Trappers in particular (sentimental old fool that I am ::nod::)

Beautiful Q.
I really like the color of the 1978-79 bone handles.

Found this 6318 at a estate sale. It has a serrated sheepfoot blade. Lid was missing for the tin. I thought the bone looks pretty nice.

Nice pick up, Tom. First Olive Green Stockman I've seen with the TS shield (one of my personal favorite Case shields).

BTW, I've seen it called a "Barn", a "Cabin" and a "Shed" shield...so, take your pick! ::hmm:: ::undecided::

The larger Case is a new pick-up with some repair needed before carrying. It is perfect for EDC as it is a true "User". The smaller one was a gift from my father when I was a boy in the 70's. It was the first pocketknife I owned. I carried it all the time when I was a bratty 'lil kid. Somehow, after all these years I still have it... which seems like a minor miracle by itself ::hmm::

Well, now you get to carry it as a big bratty adult!!! :lol: Sure wish I still had my very first knife, but alas, I don't have the slightest recollection of what happened to it after I moved on to other newer & shinier knives.
