Trying to find age on a Case knife

Post by Captainrlm »

I have a case pocketknife which belonged to my great-grandfather, who passed away in 1976. I would lik3 to find out at least an estimate on how old it might be, as I havE no idea when he acquired it.

The tang on one appeared to say only CASE in printed capital letters. I do not think it says anything underneath it - if so, it has faded away

I’ll try to add pictures when I figure out how

Thank you for any help
