Catalog Auction info Amoskeag Timed #151 - August 2026 (#151a) 08/17/2026 3:00 PM EDT - 08/31/2026 12:10 PM EDT Starts Ending 08/31/2026 9:45 AM EDT Auction Info > Lot #3385Scarce Case XX Knives #16 “Special” 1976 Counter Display Click image to enlarge PreviousNextSimilar Items Starting: $700 Estimate $1,000 - $1,500 Description Description: (24”Wx20”Hx12.5”D) This is a scarce #16 retail counter display by Case Knives, containing 18 of 21 original display items. It contains the original factory display list and order notes indicating this was on the counter in the Yankee Musket Shop in Quechee, VT and was ordered in August of 1976. The paperwork lists the items in order of display number, and all items display a number and price sticker in their proper places with #6, 13, and 17 no longer being present; the #17 display would have originally included a leather sheath, and the staining on the piece of vinyl that was used as a mount suggests heavy old verdigris staining. #14 displays a 1980-’89-era tang stamp while the remainder appear to all be stamped with “CASE XX / U.S.A” 1965-’69 era markings, and it is possible the display has been refurbished/restored to some degree. Concerning the folding knives, #4 has circled “CASE” shield and appears to have brown Delrin scales while the others appear to be bone, all with the standard jigging pattern and plain “CASE” plates; the fixed blades show black synthetic, stacked leather washer, and pinned hardwood scales and grips with the bolsters and guards remaining mostly bright. The non-kitchen related fixed blades are mounted on their proper original leather holsters. Condition is excellent throughout with all items appearing unsharpened and showing only very light wear, perhaps with some mild tarnish on some of the bolsters and guards and stained piece of mounting vinyl. The case itself rates very good showing dings and handling marks with some light staining on the rear panel and an old hanger nail in the right side; the “SPECIAL DISPLAY - WHITE PANEL” designation would suggest this is the original panel which rates excellent with stickers and price tags intact and some factory notes in marker on the back. The glass front still has the original chrome-vanadium blade notice label and rates excellent, and the original “DO NOT REMOVE / SAMPLES” Case XX placard remains in place. The original lock and included key are functional though a bit tricky to operate and there is a National Federation of Independent Business placard affixed to the side. This is a rare and high condition display, complete with factory documentation and worthy of the last little bit of restoration required to bring it to its complete state. It is sure to please the advanced Case knife collector and would still stand out in a modern retail setting.

A SIGNED LETTER FROM THE FFL STATING THIS FACT MUST BE PRESENTED AT TIME OF PICK UP. The FFL Dealer will in turn be notified that a transfer was made to you as their agent. New Hampshire residents over the age of 21 may take possession of any firearm, on day of sale, provided the proper paperwork is completed and the transfer has been approved either through the N.H. State Police or the FBI NICS System, whichever is appropriate based upon the type of firearm(s) purchased.
