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.
That's a beautiful 60 Skip. Beautiful bone and Most I've seen the file blade doesn't fare well. Congrats on the find.

Here is one you don't see all that often, an Electric Cut Co Newark NJ 3 1/2" split spring congress whittler in MOP. Still tight and snappy, been cleaned but at least the edges are not rounded, MOP is not cracked but has yellowed some, not surprising since its around 120 years old. Hard to capture just how nice the pearl is.
Picked up another Congress whittler, a tang stamp I have not found before, U. S. Cutlery Co. Nice little 3 1/4" stag split spring whittler. Nothing much on them in the books, 3 or more companies may have used U.S. Cutlery.

Nice trio of whittlers! The Robeson Wharncliffe reminds me a lot of a Case seahorse whittler.

It's still a good looking piece of cutlery, Floyd.
Like you said...as long as YOU like it, that's all that matters.
