Old does not mean valuable

[thejuice]

I am 67 years old and bought my last Case knife before 1969. I stupidly thought they would be worth something one day( like last week) but sadly if you put them in a box for over 50 years.... they may not be.

Knives are a poor investment (generally).

Apparently, all of mine must be. I have 75 knives that are not Case, thought about letting all 100 go.25 Case , some I bought new. One Case was made in Bradford PA which if my info is correct makes it 100 + or - years old. I think now that I have an old Case knife that is just old. Worth very little. Bradford PA was used in the late tens of 1900 and early 1920s.

Case knives are not appreciated as they once were. I think my dads knifes were worth more in 1990 than they are today.

It's valuable if you want one.
