1 antique ca.1905-1914 W.R. Case & Sons large hobo knife.  This old Case model 6251 would make an important, and rare addition to any collection. 

This knife measures a large 5 5/16" when closed.  The master blade itself measures 4 1/4".  The front blade tang is stamped 'W.R. CASE   & SONS   BRADFORD, PA.'.  The fork's tang is stamped '6251'.  The handle scales are made of Rogers bone. 

The knife and fork on this old Case hobo knife separate by opening each blade, then sliding the two halves apart. 

This antique 1904-1915 W.R. Case & Sons knife is in extraordinary condition.  The blade has almost nothing that could be described as pitting.  Only carbon staining is present really.  Plus, this knife has not been cleaned up at all yet.  The knife blade is completely full.  Both knife and fork are absolutely tight with no wiggle at all in the open position.  There is not a single crack or chip in the bone handle scales. 


This early ca.1904-1915 W.R. Case & Sons 6251 hobo knife would make a rare addition to any collection.
