look up other unopened similiar. cant be the only one ever. if it ain't worth nothing open. if it is sell it.

Most Victorinox knives came in the same box.If you don't know the model you'll never be able to establish value.

 

[Der Verminator]

Put it on e-Bay for $500 opening bid.

The collectors there LOVE mystery boxes.

I think its the standard version. I hate to open it but.............

Now what the heck is in here. Unopened Victorinox swiss army knife in Sears packaging. I hate to open it. I dont collect these but this is interesting. Best i can tell its from the 70s.View attachment 1191758 View attachment 1191759 View attachment 1191760 View attachment 1191761 View attachment 1191762

I know from these catalogs https://www.sakwiki.com/tiki-index.php?page=Victorinox+Swiss+Army+Knife+Catalogs
That in the late 70s early 80s 5046 was the model number for the mountaineer. With different variations across different dealers but the core "5046" was always there. Idk if this helps at all

This has some decent traffic and some people seem to know what they were talking about.

On another site recently someone sold a sealed box. When the buyer got it he opened it and the knife was broken.

It created a a real problem. The buyer blamed the seller, the seller said it wasn’t his fault, the buyer wanted his money back. The seller refused because it wasn’t worth anything now that it was opened.

My point is to sell it with the stipulation that you are selling the factory sealed box, with no claims as to the integrity of the contents.
