Yard sale find - Case

Rupestris said:
Wow. Thanks again all. I really didn't expect it to be that old or have that much potential value (had it been mint).

(Mushy part) For $15 I got more than a knife. I learned quite a bit here and got a reminder that there are some great folks here that I can share my bit of good fortune with. Y'all are the best. Keep it up :thumbup:.

You got that right. I'm sure they've forgotten more about the history of knives than I'll know :).

knife-fan, always ask at a yard sale if it looks like it has some potential. Look for man stuff like tools, fishing gear, camo clothes. Even if its some antlers hanging in the garage in the background. I've done better by asking at a few than hitting multiple sales.

As Blues said, a 6233, long pull master blade, but in green bone not rough black. 1920's to 1940's time frame.

That wrapper may or may not be original to the knife, they used the exact same wrapper from the Tested era through about the mid 1970's so there is no way to tell the age of a specific wrapper.

The wrapper is not original to the knife, the earliest possible date is 1963. It has a zip code for Bradford.
