@ craig i own a tadpole in greenobone ...the wife currentoy has it in COLLECTION 1 but happen to have a pic of it i took awhile back. it has a loot of history on the ole bugger.. awesome greenbone.. for how old and smal its still a littel nail cleaning/sunday knife. its actually turned up in a trade! i dug out a pic but its from a bit ago. i have more pics of it since you dont often see it.
I would have to say it's a phony. In that time period Case used pinned shields and I can't find anywhere that in that period they stamped pattern numbers on their knives. The 028 pattern is called a serpentine dogleg jack.
Case has manufactured at least two distinct knives with this pattern number.
* The company's most recent version is a 3 1/2" serpentine style jack knife. Most have a clip and pen blade, and a 1/2 after the pattern number (when there is a pattern number). Some versions have been produced with a punch blade.Case discontinued them sometime before 1964.
*The other 028 pattern is a teardrop style jack knife that was manufactured with a spear and clip blade. I'm not sure of the exact size, but they are considerably smaller than the other 028 pattern described above.

Nice ones Craig! If it's too cold for Lemonade you could always do Pumpkin Lattes!
Picked this up today at our local club show! Case 29 1/2 Smooth Black, should make a nice lil' EDC!
