Description

Hi, I am Steve Pfeiffer, author of the book
Collecting Case knives - Identification and Price Guide
. I have been collecting, buying, and selling CASE and other brands of vintage and modern pocket knives since 1973.
I am offering some fine collectible pocket knives for sale. See my other auction listings for more collectible knives.
This is a vintage Case “Muskrat” pattern pocket knife.
The tang stamp is CASE XX USA 1965-1969.
The knife is 3-7/8” closed with nickel silver liners and pinned oval CASE shield.
The blade steel is CV (carbon) steel.
Both blades have strong snap.
The front blade has a tiny bit of side to side wobble (not very noticeable).
The back blade is tight with no side-to-side wobble.
The handles are red bone with great color.
The handles have no cracks or damage.
A near mint knife - never sharpened, carried, or cleaned, original factory blade finish and edges.
Calling it “near mint” only due to a hint of light surface tarnish on the back of the front blade.
Included is a scarce vintage Case “pumpkin” box that originally held six of the MUSKRAT pattern. Case used this style of box through the mid-1980’s.
Also includes the vintage Case “Use and Care” wrapper as shown in the photos.

Some states have started requiring eBay to collect sales tax on items going to these states. eBay has a list of those states that have started collecting sales tax in 2019 on online purchases. This is nothing I have control over and the sales tax is automatically added to your total by eBay if you reside in one of these states.
See my other listings for more collectible knives.
Any knives listed as having BONE handles have handles made of Bovine bone from the South American Zebu cattle.
