This lot features three collectible folding pocket knives, including two by Case XX and one Hastings commemorative knife. The first is a Case XX “75th Anniversary of Auto Automation” model 41059L SSP, issued to commemorate the 1912 introduction of the first automotive assembly line. It features smooth cream-colored handles with etched commemorative graphics on both sides, a stainless steel blade marked “CASE XX SS USA,” and comes in its original box labeled “Hastings Collectable Automotive Commemorative Knife.” The second knife is a Case XX brown jigged bone two-blade jack knife with nickel silver bolsters, an oval Case shield inlay, and blades stamped “CASE XX USA” with a single dot tang mark, dating it to the early 1980s. The main blade bears an etched canoe and paddler design and shows light patina from age. The third knife is a Hastings/Casite advertising pocket knife with cream-colored composite handles printed with “Hastings” and “Casite” logos and a series of vintage automobile images, featuring a stainless folding blade and light handling wear. Together, these knives form a well-preserved trio representing both American knife craftsmanship and automotive history.
