CASE XX Mystery and Collector Challenge
The Mystery: Were two knives listed on a COA ever made?
I was happily adding the COA below to the each of the 1994 Classic elephant toenail knives. As I added it, I crossed that knife off the COA as completed. Over the years I had added pictures of almost all of them to KnifeDB.com , even the pearls made with only 20 copies. Then I figured out that I didn’t have pictures of two of the knives. They were:
200-REDBONE WITH ARROW SHIELD AND W. R. CASE & SONS TANG STAMP, AND 200-GREENBONE WITH ARROW SHIELD AND W.R. CASE & SONS TANG STAMP from the middle of the COA. So I started looking for them. I checked all my usual sources and couldn’t find them.
The Collector Challenge: If you have one of these, send me a good picture, and I will add it to the database with your name as the authority. Remember it needs to be Case & Sons and not Case Brothers on the tang.
