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.
I just picked this up at auction, haven't received it yet. It's my first 4 blade stockman (including the punch). Do you think this is an -18 or -47? I'm hoping a -47 because that was one of the first patterns I started collecting. Looks like it could be a USA era stamp too. These are the auction house's pictures.

Great pickup red! Definitely a 47. I don't think they made the 4 blade in an 18 pattern.

IF YOU AIN'T BUYING OR LOOKING AT A KNIFE THEN YOU AIN'T LIVING.
Always looking to buy good quality Empire knives.
If anyone can help with info on this Case it's someone here. I recently acquired this Case branded pewter box with MOP inlay. It is also available with abalone but that's all I know.

Those are beauties! I'm partial to the 48, was the 1st knife I remember buying as a kid, mine was a one blade though.

Thanks treefarmer. I've got plenty of the single blades too.
Took some pictures of the 64047 P and an 8(?) Dot Cheetah I recently picked up. Price and Zalesky say the Delrin Cheetah is a 7 Dot but I'm pretty sure this is Delrin and at least 8 Dots. The -47 pattern 4 blade has been getting some pocket time, it's a great EDC.

1967redrider,
I believe me and you can count at least 8 dots. Nothing like a good old Case knife, that 47 ought to fit well in your pocket, if there is room.
I found this 3137CV at the bottom of the bay the other day. I usually don't mention price but sometimes that just makes the deal feel better. I thought $12 was a pretty good deal.
Scooped up from the bottom of the bay.

Nice find, treefarmer. Took some pictures of the 64047P along with a Muskrat and 6347, all USA era knives, and they all measure up the same (same number of springs and brass spacers, etc.). I'm hoping in time the 4 blade's scales will shine up more like the other two, we shall see.

I received this 109x Mini CH from the XX era in yesterday's mail from stockman. Very pleased with it and stockman is a pleasure to do business with too!
