Hi I am Steve Pfeiffer, author of the book Collecting Case Knives - Identification and Price Guide , published by Krause Publications. I have been collecting Case and other brands of antique pocket Knives since 1973. I am offering some fine collectible pocket knives for sale. This auction is for a very desirable antique "Cattle" pattern pocket knife. This knife was made by the Imperial Knife Company of Providence, Rhode Island circa 1920's to 1940's. It is a military contract knife made for US Army Air Corps pilots during WWII. IMPERIAL PROV RI, circa 1920's to 1940's. 3-5/8" closed length. Classic cattle knife, all three blades with super strong snap. This knife for all practical purposes is MINT. It has never been used or sharpened. There a re a few minor spots and specks on the original factory mirror finish. The nice light tan and brown jigged bone handles have no pocket wear and no cracks or chips. Iron bolsters, brass pins, and brass liners. A lot of these knives were made for the military so it is not a rare knife, but finding an example in MINTY condition like this one is RARE. A classic American made super quality knife!! See my other auctions in my Ebay store for more old collectible knives. 7-DAY RETURN PRIVILEGES FOR REFUND LESS SHIPPING CHARGES ANY KNIVES IN THIS AUCTION LISTED AS HAVING BONE HANDLES HAVE HANDLES
