I have been busy getting some things done the past few days. I toted my 65-69 redbone Mini Trapper the past two days.
Case changed the blade types on this model (6207) in the 1970's, as far as I can tell, keeping the model number, yet going from a clip and pen to a California Clip and Spey blade.
Some say it was called a dogleg jack before the blades changed, not sure I agree with them since it does not have the true dogleg shape.

That is a beauty for sure. At the risk of stated the obvious your pictures and knife collection are top notch. Very nice
 
Packing this Ploppert F1. The action on this is really fantastic. You can’t let it close itself though or it will destroy the edge. I’m hoping that goes away soon. I paid 200 extra for the 440v but it wasn’t marked on the blade. I often wonder if I got the only 440v knife he’s made without the stamp. Regardless it is one heck of a great knife.

Will - I try to think back to the Case hardware displays in the 1960's, when I was a kid, and I don't recall them ever calling the knives a pattern name, as we do today, seems like they would have a pattern number above or below the knife in the displays. Many of the old catalogs I have (not Case Catalogs) just show a pattern number and no pattern name. Of course, back then, most everyone knew what a jack knife was and what was a Barlow. Wish I had some older Case catalogs. 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔😇 Very nice Queen, BTW.

This Cattaraugus knife is a true dogleg pattern, in my opinion and it has a compound curve or, as the old saying goes, is "crooked as a dog's hind leg" 🤣.
Your Queen and the Case 6207 pattern has only one. :

Schrade and Jeff would likely call this a Serpentine Jack, which is not incorrect either. ☺️

That's the kind of Dogleg I'm talking about especially since it's from the Catt Haus :cool: A handsome beast with the bone of dreams.

Never having been in America, still less in a knife-shop in the 1960s I couldn't really say, but I suspect people would've referred to them in generalities: Stockman, Trapper etc if they couldn't recall the pattern No. or just by simply pointing out an item in the display cabinet "That one please" Specific names-often debatable- were a marketing ploy I believe, and a rich seam for pedantic wrangling/bickerings ever since.

Here's one of my Doglegs, a new upstart but I do like the finish on the Smooth Bone.
