Great lookers, especially like that Hibbard Sp Bart. Love the bones and those bar shields. Great condition too, you scored on those. Keen Kutter Kills too.

Those are three beauties, John. I really like the body on the Hibbard Spencer & Bartlett. Very nicely photographed, too.

Thank you all for the nice comments, I think the HSB is my favorite, you just don't see that Congress Whittler pattern all that often.

Dang, too bad I didn't find this thread before I started selling my late hubby's whittler collection.
I could have posted over 100.

:lol: Like John Wayne said in the movies, “Courage is being scared and saddling up anyway.” ::nod::

I’m scared of celluloid and have had a couple go bad on me. And I try to limit myself on what I’ll pay for one. But they’re so beautiful I can’t ignore them. They do get their own special storage treatment - I’m a celluloid segregationist. ::sotb::

Thanks again for the nice comments. I have more, but I’ll stop for now. ::groove::

I Have at least 100 whittlers. Never counted them. Will show a few that I didn`t see posted yet. Peter brothers celebrated cutlery. Made knives only a few years.

Yesterday afternoon, this beauty arrived and became the latest addition to my "general" CAMILLUS pocket knife collection. It's another CAMILLUS 60, 3 blade, 3 1/8" closed, milled liners, tip bolsters, "split spring" whittler pocket knife. I gave the blades a very minor cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.
