Case baby doc knife

[john dinunno]

I just came across across a 1920-1940 bone case doc knife with the two blades cute little guy how rare are these? Thanks

No pattern on the blade btw just assuming its a baby doc due to size and shape Thanks

Not sure what size yours is. Case made a few different size physicians knives during the XX era.
no pattern # = 3 3/4 inch
34 pattern = 3 5/8 inch (stockier body)
82 pattern = 2 3/4 inch
85 pattern = 3 5/8 inch (narrower body)
86 pattern = 3 1/4 inch

LOL.....Case didn't always mark knives with a pattern number, especially the older ones.....

This is what immediately sprung to mind when I saw the thread title:

I couldn’t figure out why Case would make a knife commemorating a Haitian dictator…

Anyone have an estimated value on this one? Its unused with some light speckling on the blades.

I thought all the doctor's knives had the spatula blade for secondary.
