Re: Old celluloid

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.

Someone suggested a good book for old case identification. I can't remember the author or title. Any help out there?

Best reference for old Case (Case Brothers, Case Bradford, W.R. Case & Sons, Case Tested, Case XX, and Case fixed blades) is probably Sargent’s Premium Guide to Knives and Razors, 7th Edition, by Jim Sargent. Several hundred pages, thousands of photographs of older Case knives. There are other good ones but no others I know of with as many pictures.

Is this what you were thinking of? viewtopic.php?f=66&t=56871&p=643747#p643747
