I'm pretty sure that silverladdie is James "buzz" Parker, son of James Parker.
James Parker passed away a few years ago.
James Parker used to sell on ebay and authored several editions of
Pocket Knife Trader's Price Guide.

I think James Parker owned Case pocket knife company for a few years. Some knife collectors were not to happy with his time at Case.
Scott there is a lot of history, ups and downs, with Case and Parker during the late 70s and thru the 80s.
edit: Here is a link to one of his listings for his Dads last book.
