1973 Schrade Factory Store Display

[circlek]

I am new to AAPK and new to collecting Schrade knives. Here is a pic of my first set of Schrades. It is a factory display case from 1973. Through my research I find this is the transition year from Schrade Walden to Schrade. The case has a 1650T marked Schrade Walden and the five others are marked Schrade. There is a 1080T,340T,250T 80T and a 150T. I found a pic of this set in the 1973 Schrade catalog on this site. Anyone have any more info of this set, value, rarity. I would think since this is in the transition, year not a lot are out there. The display case was never opened until I opened it to oil the knives and clean the dust off the red felt. There is two holes in the back for hanging and they go all the way through. Some dust and cob webs got on the inside. Thanks for any help. circlek

Nice transition display!
It would probably bring $300 on a good day.
I have a display from about the same time that came from a Canadian distributor.
My set has 8 knives and the hone steel, but mine are all Schrade, no Waldens.
