Re: Camillus Boy Scout knives
.......it's probably got u.s.a. under that , but it's hidden by the knife frame, so it's 1919-1941, but that shield is probably closer to 1919 than 1941........... ................Webb wrote:Camillus NY, is what is stamped

....I couldn't figure out why you couldn't read the 4th line, so I got mine out, which is 4 line also, and you can barely make out the tops of the letters with a magnifier, mystery solved!!!.... ..................

They were a whole lot easier to come by when I was one of the few that was looking for them. That one now lives at Philip's house (Treefarmer).

Re: Camillus Boy Scout knives
I have a 2 blade easy opener with ebony wood handles made by Camillus , banner shaped shield reads Boy Scouts . It's a very early knife I suspect teens into the 20s blade etched Boy Scouts of America .
The little bit of research I did came up as a early boys life premium knife .
Will post a picture when I get a chance .
I've seen the same knife in a 4 blade bone as well with the same etch .

Re: Camillus Boy Scout knives
Those white ones had a habit of developing a handle crack at the shield.
