Re: camillus #72
Tommy had one of those. He gave it to me (thank you Tommy). I knew he's generous but I didn't know he's that generous.
He wants $379.95 with no Make An Offer and he still wants $7.95 shipping. Sheesh

There's a 1st Gen on eBay right now that's in pretty good condition but he's asking $150 for it.

Re: camillus #72
Don't get dollar signs in your eyes just yet Tommy. I think he has it priced about double the top end. But then I live at a lower economic level than most so I'm seeing it with different eyes.

Re: camillus #72
That's the same one we saw earlier. It's already gone through one listing with no sale but it looks like he's sticking with his price.carrmillus wrote:...I'm still wondering about the difference in the handles??........... ............jerryd6818 wrote:Don't get dollar signs in your eyes just yet Tommy.

Re: camillus #72
Since Jerry & Co. basically have us neophyte #72 collectors boxed out as far as the first-gen old bone beauties go, I've decided to try and focus on a more eclectic subset of #72s. This one arrived today:

Tony, that's a real nice pick up there. Ya done good.

Re: camillus #72
Tsar Bomba, from one neophyte to another, I think Jerry would consider that one a "clone" and would be acceptable. Nice one.
Re: camillus #72
If memory serves, and often it does not, that isn't a clone. It's a real deal Camillus SFO made for Wards.

Re: camillus #72
You're already on the payroll Tommy. In fact, you are probably the CEO since you were probably collecting these before I even knew what a "Camillus" was.carrmillus wrote: ........"jerry & co."- I like that!!!....how do we get on the payroll, jerry????.............. ..............................
Tony, I do consider it a very acceptable "clone" since it was made by Camillus.SolWarrior wrote:Tsar Bomba, from one neophyte to another, I think Jerry would consider that one a "clone" and would be acceptable. Nice one.
Edit: and then I saw the post that Cuz made and realized that was more accurate than what I had to say. Though "made for Wards" is brand new information to me. Are you sure about that. To my knowledge, Stanley is a stand alone company.
From Wikipedia: "Stanley Hand Tools is a brand of hand tools. It is a division of Stanley Black & Decker, following the 2010 merger of The Stanley Works with Black & Decker."
Since we're on the Stanleys, I have one which was a gift from T.J. that needs a shield. If any of you ever run onto a Stanley shield, please keep me in mind.

Re: camillus #72
Tony, I think "Jerryd and Co." Is actually more akin to "Robin and his Merry Men" and we'really not really sure which one is Robin. So far the only payroll I have seen is what you can manage to "steal" of of eBay as most of us are pretty much bottom feeders.
