CASE 6465 appraisal and questions

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.

Jared the knife was made sometime between 1920 and 1940, probably early 1930's. It is a variation of the folding hunter which normally has two blades. The screwdriver and the can opener don't normally appear on the hunter. It is a fairly scarce knife and could have a value between $1000 to $2500. One of the pictures that collectors like to see is an overhead shot looking down into the well of the knife with all blades closed and the knife lying on its spine. This is helpful to determine whether the blades might be short.
