"Old Knives"

What a beauty Rob- just a STUNNING example in every way! Now THATS what I call Pick-Bone
( I would still class this as Pick-bone as much as it does get quite busy - Wow)

 

Charlie and Rob, fantastic knives with great jigging

 

Rob, Ron, Charlie, all very nice knives!


Picked up a decent Case Bradford Sheepsfoot 3 3/4" coke bottle jack that dates from 1914 to 1920 if I am dating it right. It has a pattern number 6208 but that is for a later case Whittler so I would have to assume early Case knives used a different numbering system. It has a raised letter arrow shield and unusual bone, looks like it was saw cut before it was jigged,
Knife is tight and snappy but has suffered from corrosion and some sandpaper abuse. I can find very little information on early Case knives and have not been able to find another example so if anyone has any information it would be appreciated. The last picture is of a later Clauss knife I have that is the same knife.

 

Real nice bone on the Case bros and I like the shield reminds me of an old pennant or something

 

Got some finds to share... Ward's stockman, Ulster stag jack and an Ulster congress

 

Appreciate the compliment Duncan, it is busy as you said, intricate pick bone if I may suggest

Thanks Paul, appreciate the compliment

Thanks Augie and that's a spectacular early Case especially with a sheepsfoot main

All very nice additions Kevin Love that stag Ulster

 

Rob, here are some photos of the NYKC Congress. It is slightly larger than yours at 3 1/4 inches closed.

Wonderful and very attractive folders Augie and Kevin

 

Nice early stamp Lloyd thanks for posting it.

Beautiful NYK Mike!

 

That's a beauty, Mike!

 

Thanks guys. Charles had quite the collection of knives. I'm happy to get a few of them.

 

Wonderful knives, I'm glad to see you found an Ulster congress Even though I've posted it before hopefully nobody minds if I trot mine out for the recent congress show with you and @waynorth @rockman0 and @Luger1952

 

Forgot the pics

 

Oh believe me, I thought of your congress when I got mine in LoL... That curved shield steps yours up a notch

 

I don't think any of us get tired of seeing this one David
It's a beautiful example!

 

Some real beauties fellas !

 

Augie my friend- Both those Case built Knives are gorgeous! I hope you find more information about them, perhaps Steve could help? Real Nice Sheeps-foot Jacks

Kev, three nice ones! I like that wards, thats a nice refreshing Knife, I wonder if Utica made that one as Well- quite possibly.

Those Ulsters!!! my friend that Teardrop Jack is a great Knife! Beautiful examples of Stag there- Phew! Real nice that one, that Half congress is nothing to sneeze at either - another very very nice Knife there! Well done!

Lloyd matey- Real nice and real early NYK Congress! we don't see too many of those lying around these days, so that's a nice treat to view that Knife- Thanks you for sharing my friend- it's always such a pleasure looking at your knives as you have such great taste.

Mike!!! When you have finished looking over My 4 bladed Senator- I would like you to send it on back to me please , What a great Knife!- everything about that Knife is simply great- and the Fact it was part of Charles's collection just gives that a nice tick as well!

Steve - My friend- that's a very nice Half Congress you have there, Kev is right the bar is a nice touch, usually I like such beautiful Bone ( with such immensely nice jigging ) to speak for itself, but that one works!

 

Thanks Duncan. It's in the mail...

 

Email that is!!
