Nice save!

Ken, sorry I just saw your post in the old rare ones thread so I'm posting my knife here also.
Hadn't seen this stamping before on a Case knife but couldn't pass it up. Love these old pocket worn knives!
I did come across this picture that looks just like it... but Case Bros
Thanks for letting me show it here,
Randy

Ridgegrass, nice find! Sorry I missed seeing your post of it sooner!
Great old knife Randy.
If either of you ever get tired of them, let me know. I have a weakness for any swell-center pattern - it’s a sickness, I tell you!

Re: what is the rarest case knife you have??
Cool knives everyone!
And a nice save Herb! Love it when old knives get "Reborn"!
Came across this Tested XX the other day on eBay. Got lucky on it. Offered the guy €40 ($49) with shipping and he accepted my offer. Made him an offer on another nice knife today. See if I get lucky again.
Anyways, it's a 3 3/8" Torpedo Jack with Gum-Fuddy handles. Ken said it's probably a 6214 1/2. Thanks for the Info Ken. It has some blade ware but other than that, it's in pretty good condition. Good SNAP & solid half stops. Handles are in great shape. Pins look good. Need a little cleaning but that's part of the fun sometimes. I kinda enjoy doing some cleaning.
Thanks for looking friends!

I obtained this back in January.
It was one of my "Holy Grail" pocket knives.
It measures 3 1/8" closed.
