What about this Case? Got my attention but I did read the seller wasn't sure if it was a Case or an Old Timer. https://www.ebay.com/itm/313908023800?h ... Swwpth99zp
It is always interesting to look at such as this, how sellers arrive at their descriptions of their knives.

When it comes to identifying counterfeits of most knives, I'm certainly no expert. However, in this case, I can unequivocally say that there is absolutely NO WAY this is a Case knife. Looks more like a Frost to me.
Knife is not stamped at all that I can see. Seller description says “ It may be Ole timer or case I don't know for sure.” He got the “I don’t know” right at least. Has a $48 starting bid. Might be worth a dollar, best case. At least you could put it in the next POS exchange!

I inherited a quite similar knife as a remnant of a relative's collection (i.e I got the cheap crap and damaged knives). It's been kicking around in various junk drawers ever since. I don't feel like it's right to get rid of it in a POS Exchange, but at least it came in handy here.
Long bolsters, straight frame, and jigging are nearly identical. Mine is branded "ELK HORN" however.
Read it carefully. I think what the seller is saying, in this example is: its a case, with four blades, made from brass, and its a knife.
Sounds like common US military descriptions, for example: MRE = Meal, Ready to Eat.
I don't know if this is an intentional deception, an honest error, or something in between. They are also clearly stating they don't know. The knife is not marked "Case", nor does the description say its a "Case knife"
There were apparently no bids on this one as the time has ended. I suppose if it had started at a lower price, say $0.99, it would have sold.
