ANYONE KNOW WHAT THIS CASE XX BOLSTER MARK MEANS ???

[gino]

I picked up this 1986 Case xx whittler and on the bolster it is marked 1890

I know usually this means a limited series of some kind but can anyone be more specific?


PAST # B6308 SS

gino, I'm not certain, but Houston Price, in his book PRICE GUIDE TO COLLECTOR KNIVES, mentions a set that Case issued in 1987: The Jack Daniels Old Number 7 set. 5,000 sets. Three knives displayed on a whiskey barrel plaque, Charcoal Bone handles, Knives were B6108, B6208, B6308.

I can't tell from the pic, but is yours a black bone handle? Maybe this is one knife from a set.

hey blue
this was one of 3 knives I picked up at a flea market the 2 others have a blue -green tint to them and this one is def darker but still has a slight green in it.

Its def fromm 1986 (4 dots - 2 on each side of lightning SS)

I cant find out what its from either
Thanks for helping

I just recently picked up a B6208 and was wondering about it too. It looks like black though....no green. It also has a numbered bolster, but it's out in the shop and I don't remember the number. I'll find out and report back. The Jack Daniels set with "B" for black makes a lot of sense though. It sounds like how Case would mark something like that.

Hit it on the head...it is from the Jack Daniels Set. I can only assume that the "B" does mean black.

0580 is the bolster number on my B6208. Thanks for the info guys. I also don't have to wonder what the markings are for now.
