Here's a couple of nice Schrades with display cases that I purchased at an estate auction today.

Greta finds MLB! I really like the Currier and Ives knives, kind of remind me of the Wharncliff Whittlers
Now you need to find the Lightning Express to round out the collection

MLB, the Lightning Express was a companion knife to your Flying Cloud. I don't have one myself but I believe it came in the identical frame and background as the FC, with the knife being the same model as your Statue of Liberty, only with wood handles (Like the FC), and an etch of a locomotive. I hope that makes sense

Eric - makes good sense to me, sounds like a nice knife. Now I have another one to search for. The lightning express is one knife my wife want give me a hard time about purchasing, I've worked for the railroad over 20 years and she's a railroad buff. She collects any and all railroad Memorabilia she can find and afford, so if it has a locomotive on it, then it's a shoe in, if I can find one. Thanks for the info.
