    Default Case Brothers, John D. Case & Standard Knife Co. (From the Case Family)

    Here are a couple Case Brothers I got last year when I started having problems getting on here:

    The first one is a rare Case Brothers, Springville, NY & I found this one on the bay for not a bad price at all. Then a few weeks later was another one with some rust on the blade but it went for a lot more. The second one I got really cheap. The third one is a John D. Case, Little Valley, NY which I've had for awhile & it has a very small chip in the blade but I honed it out. The fourth one is a Standard Knife Company, Little Valley, NY but is from within the Case family. The last pic is in my book of Knives & Razors by Jim Sargent but it is showing the razor I have at the top. They made a slightly shorter razor like the first one which was a travel razor & they are worth more. They also made a monkey tail one like a De Pew which is even more rare.

    I put the wrong pic in from my book. As can be seen, they made one w/o the covered tang but here is the right one.

    The one on the bottom is a travel razor & the pic in the book doesn't do it much justice which is why I accidentally posted the one w/o the covered tang.
