Info on old Case folder requested

Postby bengalfanz on Fri Jan 29, 2010 3:40 am

Don't know if this is the best section to ask, so Mods feel free to move to appropriate section. This place has been very helpful with my first knife info, thought I would ask about this one. Have no idea how old it is. From other pictures of CASE knives I've seen , the silver logo seems to be offset, while this one is more centered. There's a CASE marking on the longer blade and a marking I can't make out on the short (it looks to be broken off but really shows no visible signs of a break...could've been filed down to be used as a screwdriver?) The marking looks to be an oval case logo with numbers these old eyes can't quite make out do to wear / corrosion

With the help of my son's eyes and the WD-40 oil....I was able to make out BRADFORD stamped under CASE on the full blade. On the reverse of the blade is a number...quite hard to make out, but it seems to be 06230 1/2

Hope this helps.

Even the large blade has been broken and reground :(
Estimate as to age '40s - '60s.
