Welcome to our forum! Good deal on a nice set of knives...
I saw another post elsewhere, you seem to be seeking a good book or two concerning knife collecting. I'd try and find a forth edition of Levine's Guide To Pocket Knives and their Values by Bernard Levine. The fifth edition you'd find new in a bookstore is junk. Two others on my book shelve that get a lot of use is: Official Price Guide to Collector Knives By S. Houston Price (just saw a new edition yesterday at Borders bookstore) and The Standard Knife Collectors Guide By Roy Ritchie and Ron Stewart, of which there is also a brand new edtion out this year.
As you have an interest in Case knives, may I further recommend the old standby, Romance of Collecting Case Knives by Dewey Ferguson, later editions by his wife.

You definitely got a good deal on this one. Although I don't keep up with the collector's values, the suggested retail for this set in 1996, when it was made, was right around $300.00. A complete set, along with the display case is definitely a steal for less than a bill. Debbie
