I have not seen one of these posted before. It has the knife and key chain in a nice box, I have the cardboard sleeve it came in too and it`s marked $22.50 :o

I have a few. Jr has a few also. Cool knives tho! ;)
The sleve on mine is 22.50 also. The stockman is 25.00
I was wondering if they came from the factory marked so I guess they did?

i have the stockman set. have had it several years, but it had no price on it. i have been told the shields on these were gold, but it sure looks like brass to me!-anybody know for sure if it's gold?????

Thanks for posting your knives Gino ::tu::

I did not know there was another different model.

The shields are definitely not gold.

Wish they were :D Image

I have the medallion and a few other items from the Camillus 100th Anniversary;
Courtesy of Dennis Ellingsen of the Oregon Knife Collectors Association.

Dennis gave me a few stickers and a box of the matches.




I don't know if the patch is associated with the 100th Anniversary.
IIRC it came from Tom Williams.

Now I need to find the knives to go with the stickers and matches. ::hmm::

I saw one of the boxed stockman's in a pawn shop last week. I thought it looked identical to a Buck 301 I own (1970 vintage) with white handles in lieu of black, even the shield has the same shape as a Buck.

Ps What price should I offer for the stockman I saw?

Well, I couldn't find it but I thought I remembered someone saying this #72 was one of the 100th anniversary knives Camillus put out. Please correct me if that is not true.

Ah Ha!! As soon as I saw your name on the post, I remembered that you were the one I heard this from. Thank you.

I bought it off eBay and only got the knife. They would probably have wanted a brazillion dollars for it if they had the box and paperwork and knew what it is.

jerry, i got mine off of ebay, too, but it was way before they went out of business in 2007-i think i paid less than $30.00 for it, and it and the box are mint!- i probably couldn't afford to bid on one now!-seems like the day after they went out of business, the prices skyrocketed!!

Just like authors and artists, once they breath their last their work becomes much more desirable and valuable. I think I gave somewhere around $30 including shipping for this one. I didn't know it was 100th anniversary when I bought it. I noticed after I had it in hand, it has a very hard to see (get out the magnifying glass) pin crack at the mark side rocker pin. :(
