Lars Rays... Ok Last April 18, 2015. I recently went to Englishtown Swap Meet & Auto Show in Englishtown, NJ for all huge flea market there. Around 250 or more booths have varies junk motor peices, old schwinn bicycles, army+navy clothes and more... Of course knives too. I wander around many vendors all day. Quickly spot there is B100 case XX pushout knife inside glass box on the table. It with tag cost you $17.00. My big wide eyes see this price. My mind think very careful it suppose be around $100-$200. They guy sell us, I did ask him question about pushout knife history. He have no idea about Case history at all.... he think it cheap selling $17.00. I did quickly buy and grab it. I thought it is M100, And date around ca. 1920 to 1940. But i didn't realize this B100 and ca. 1905 to 1920. I learn from john McCain about this...

Michelle- Once again, this knife predates the standard Case XX tang stamp most of you are used to seeing-- Your knife is in the $200+ dollar range-- A very rare tang stamp-- The style of lettering in the tang stamp is what sets it apart--Definitely a steal for $17- Here is the original link where I tell more about this gem-

I agree. Yes it is.. I learn something about font letters from John mention it. I thought it suppose being in 1920 - 40. But NOT that modern font letter tang. I realize this rare script letter is ca. 1905 - 20.... I did test looking at my B100 sharp. I am very surprised NEVER used or NEVER sharpen. I can feel blade very sharp. It look very brand new blade but this old B100. I never see this before. He sold me that B100. He told me no one touch this ever since.
