#72

Post by stockman »

Has anyone ever seen a 72 first year Camillus sell on ebay. I was wanting to know ballpark value. Unused no cracks,
good blade snap no spots on the steel, clean knife.

Harold, are you buying or selling? If you are buying, I guess I would expect to pay somewhere in the neighborhood of $50 - $80 but keep in mind I don't usually pay a lot for my knives. If I were selling I'd ask a Brazillion dollars and take the best offer.

That sir is the best one I've ever seen. ::tu:: (I can't tell if it's been cleaned up or not.)

It wouldn't hurt my feelings to pay $125 for that one. ::tu::

Its my knife, never considered selling it. Somehow I got in a conversation with a fellow about the knife he is interested in it. 1946 kinda rare. I got it from a old man that had it in his Hardware store when he closed.
The only knife he had left. Any way I bought it.

::tu:: Harold, condition, condition, condition! That is what all collectors are after in my opinion. Your knife has everything going for it, nice find! When putting a value on such an item, you can pretty much throw out the average going price. I would think the $125 would be a real good buy for a Collector. ::handshake:: Terry

Nice knife stockman.
I paid between$40 and $60 for mine a couple of years age .I think the price has gone up a bit.I would not class mine as mint.They have been polished .A few marks on the blades.
If you have the box and paperwork $100 plus.

Edit.On second thought. I think they might have come in a bulk box.
