Re: Case stainless 1916-1920 RARE knife
Nice knife, and welcome to AAPK. That pattern is the 6296X, commonly called a Citrus Knife. Although a few references date the Case's Stainless stamp to 1916-1920, others date it to 1947-1952, and others somewhere in between. The later dates are more widely accepted since stainless steel was newly invented and not typically used for cutlery until much later than the 1916-1920 timeframe.
In any case it is a fairly rare pattern. I have one marked Case XX Stainless. Unfortunately I haven't seen the pattern sell for what the reference books say they are worth. Depending on condition (hard to tell much from your picture) it could be valued at anywhere from $200 to $500. JMO (that's not an offer!)
