Case's Bradford, PA pruner my Dad picked up cheap at a garage sale for me. I think Case introduced this pattern in 1915 so that makes this knife produced between 1915 and 1920.
It was almost rusted shut. Soaked it in mineral oil and got off most of the active rust so it won't degrade any further. Action is great on it now. Love the bone.
