Did you dye these covers? They look amazing! Mine and a few others I've seen from this era have an area near the bolsters which didn't take the dye as readily.

Great old Case, Steve! I love those red bone covers, deep red- unlike the new red that they call "dark red"!
And great picture!

Keen Kutter made by Camillus

The handles are somewhere in between the bone and the Delrin era. Bakelite maybe ?

Bargain Barlow! And I really like it!
