***SOLD*** Case 64052 eight-dot (1972) four blade congress. It's 3 9/16" closed with some nice well-matched bone scales with no cracks or chips (note: the scales are not quite as reddish in person as the scans appear - more of a deeper cranberry to my eyes anyway). It's been carried, used, and sharpened rather more than once but is in very good shape -- it's already got the genuine patina and pocket worn bone scales - it's ready to go guys. 
Nickel silver bolsters and liners. All blades have firm, snappy action with half-stops - but not too firm - not a nail breaker; all four blades are totally solid - absolutely no movement with any of them. Blades are of CV steel, naturally. If you're looking for a nice congress user with four different blade profiles, this should work well. No box.
Asking $65 -- PayPal only - fee included; USPS Priority Mail shipping included - US only.

***SOLD*** John Primble half-congress - probably made in the early to mid '60s. It's 3 3/4" long closed with carbon steel blades with a 2 1/4" sheepsfoot and a 1 3/4" spear pen -- slim, single spring; strong snappy action. The scales are the best "jigged bone" delrin scales I've ever seen -- one very short stable crack at the back scale center pin, you can see it in the scans (actually more a stress relief tear - very common in older delrin scaled knives - it's done, won't ever go anywhere now). It has the old time fancy milled liners on back. Pretty solid knife - there is only a tiny bit of movement on the main blade, a little more on the pen blade. The main blade has a few pepper spots and rub marks but still clearly shows the "John Primble Finest Steel" etch. Tang is stamped "JOHN PRIMBLE/BELKNAP/HDW & MFG CO" (a stamping that was used from 1940-1968) -- pile side is stamped 5228 with a five pointed star underneath (I'm told the star was the way Belknap marked that it was made by Boker). Never carried, never sharpened, never used. No box.
