I am offering some fine collectible pocket knives for sale.In all of my years of collecting and documenting Case knives and related items, I have never seen another sample case like this one. Based on the high quality materials and construction, I believe that this case dates from the pre-WWII era, or the 1950's at the latest. The case was designed to display household knives, scissors, and shears. Case sales representatives would use fine cases like this to display their wares in hardware and department stores to prospective store owners and buying managers.Leather exterior, the case measures 16 ½ inches by 13 ½ inches folded, and 44 inches by 16 ½ inches when opened.
