From what I've found out following pocket knives on ebay, the Anton Wingen, Jr. Othello knives are pretty rare. Here are three that I've picked off the Bay:

Sweet ol' knives guys! ::tu::

tjmurphy, I have seen and collected a few Othello fixed blade knives but yours are the first folders. I didn't know they made them, thanks for showing. ::drool::

Some that I have had; that I like very much. A couple of old whittlers; stag Ralph Brown San Francisco; early 1900s and early pearl Torrey.

Pearl Torrey; with engraved bolsters and a Case Tested 9165; cracked ice flat blade. MM did an excellent job cleaning these two. ::nod::

quite possibly the rarest of all CASE related stampings. ::huff:: I only own one of these, not sure who owns the other two. ::huff:: I have heard of a couple others out there in collector land but never seen them. ::paranoid:: Once saw a well used version. ::nod::

ENJOY ::ds::
