I got to know him when he was collecting old Boker knives and ended up buying a lot of his Bokers once he decided to concentrate on old elephant toenails. I know he sold some of his toenails to individuals, but the majority of his collection was auctioned off in Nashville, TN. The best lead I can give you regarding locating an old Platts or Case Bros. jumbo swellcenter would be Roger Cunningham and he is a member of iKC. He also goes by the user name peanut740 on AAPK (All About Pocket knives). He's a good guy and very knowledgeable about all old toenails, Good luck.
Roger
