Knife Displays

I picked these displays up today. Can anyone give me as idea of value?
Thanks

Those don’t look like factory displays, so I’d put the value at the value of the knives themselves plus the value of the cases. I don’t think the assemblage adds any value.

Bladeforums is the place I’d go to ask about value, and would be worth the $25 gold membership to be able to ask. Would also be a good place to sell what you don’t want to keep.

They were supposedly Kmart displays.

Look em up and get individual prices then just price em at $100 for the Old Timers,$175 for the Bucks and $100 on the Wengers. Pawn shop will tear you a new one

Interesting. I’m not sure it that adds that much. I can post them on bladeforums and see if anyone has an idea.

One value factor will be whether the Schrade knives
have USA on the blade tang or not. Taylor bought the
name rights at the 2004 bankruptcy auction and moved
knife production to China. Any displays after 2004 would
have the China made el cheapos.

Here's a USA display I picked up from a hardware store near Gainesville
that was clearing out their cutlery dept. filled it with the correct USA patterns.

Please let us know when you get info on the display values.
I have another Schrade display case which is smaller but
holds more knives (14). Slope front, locking storage in back.
Have 13 of the original knife boxes stored in the back. All USA
knives but I did cheat a little. Have a Schrade 881 in the 8OT
slot and a black handled pen in the 104OT slot. The 3OT has
'Alcoa' on the blade. At least it's filled up, right?
