In 1905, W.R. Case and Sons moved operations to a new factory on Bank Street, In Bradford, Pennsylvania. At that time, the largest Case stockholder was Herbert Crandall, brother-in-law of the company founder, Russ Case. Crandall ran his own factory in Bradford, Crandall Cutlery Company, until 1911 when he merged his business with W.R. Case & Sons Cutlery Company. One part of the Crandall influence can be seen in the "Long Tail C" of the Case logo. Case adopted this shortly after the Crandall Acquisition.

The Crandall Acquisition Set consists of the beautifully crafted Walnut Bone 6172 SS Clasp with Crandall jigging and tang stamp, along with the Case Bowtie Shield. The knife adorns exquisite blade artwork and the "Long Tail C" serialization. It is displayed in a nostalgic wooden box featuring portraits of the two men. No more than 500 of these sets will be produced.
