Case Bone Question

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.

Case Bone Question

Post by just bob »

On a Case knife and only in the tested era is this considered green bone? My book shows both bone and green bone ( no red bone) for this pattern in the tested era. This doesn't look like other green bone that I have seen. I also have a 47 pattern in the tested era with this same bone. I have always wondered if it was true green bone. Thanks for the input.

That is a classic example of early Rogers bone.
