Vintage Knife Boxes Appraisal

Collection of Case XX Empty Knife Boxes

This collection consists of approximately twelve (12) empty knife boxes, primarily from the brand 'Case XX'. The boxes appear to be made of cardboard or a similar sturdy paperboard material. The dominant color scheme for most boxes features vertical stripes of orange-red and white, with an intricate pattern resembling small dots or filigree in what appears to be metallic silver or grey. Many of the boxes also display a distinct 'C' logo, possibly for 'Case', within a prominent circular or oval emblem on their top surface. One box, partially visible on the left side of the image, is a light, natural cardboard color with 'CASE' printed vertically in a larger, bolder font. Another box among the striped ones features an oval illustration or emblem, possibly depicting a nature scene or a company logo. The boxes are rectangular in shape, suggesting they were designed to hold folding knives or small fixed-blade knives. Their condition appears to be generally good, with some minor signs of wear such as slight corner rubbing or surface dust, consistent with storage rather than heavy use or damage. No significant tears, creases, or water damage are immediately visible. The style suggests a vintage to modern era, possibly spanning several decades given the variation in designs. These boxes are essentially packaging material, but for collectors of Case XX knives, they can add significant value to a loose knife or serve as collectible items themselves, particularly if they correspond to specific rare knife models. The craftsmanship is typical of mass-produced commercial packaging, relying on printing and die-cut construction.
