Once a picture has been uploated, go to the top right and mouse over the bubble with the first letter of your user name. That gives you a drop down.

That will show all your images. Click the image you want to post, then to the right at the top, copy "GRAB A LINK" address.
Then go to your post and click the "insert Image" tool on the tool bar. (It is located between the LINK tool and the SMILEY tool.)
Paste the picture address into the resulting popup, then click "Insert".

If you use another hosting site:
Once you have uploaded a picture to the hosting site, copy the web address of the picture. Note: picture web addresses must end in .jpg or .gif

Then go to your post and click the image tool on the toolbar next to the smiley tool. Click the link icon in the popup. (Looks like a chain.) Paste the picture address into the window. Then click the INSERT button.

Going to move this thread to the Traditional Forum.
 
Most here will say that a photo of the whole knife, along with a closeup photo of the tang stamp are needed to give accurate information. But just letting you know that most folding pocketknives from Case that have a "Case XX" tang stamp are from approximately 1940-1964.

Photos would be helpful for the most accurate feedback to ID the pattern and to date from which era it was made.

If the stamp has 'CASE' over the 'XX', like in this example of one of my knives below...

...then that likely narrows it to the 1940-1964 era, also called the 'XX era'. Then, if it has a pattern stamp as well, that would narrow it to 1950-1964. Case didn't start stamping pattern numbers on their blades until 1950 or so. If there's no pattern stamp, then the knife would likely date to the earlier segment of the XX era, from 1940-1949 (maybe early 1950).

Again, need pictures. Jim Parker used a lot of the old stamps when he owned Case, so you can't just go by whats in the book.....

:thumbsup:
Yes, even aside from the Parker era knives, Case has also occasionally done some limited edition stuff with special stamps that hint at or harken back to earlier eras. That always comes to mind for me when trying to give accurate feedback without the aid of some clear photos.
 
My case 6375 Stockman has CASE XX on the main blade and the model number and USA stamped on the sheepsfoot blade. Is it possible you've overlooked it?
