Re: The Other Brands
I know Camillus made HENRY SEARS & SONS knives... but did they make Henry Sears and Co. knives?

Re: The Other Brands
That’s a stamp not often seen
Is the stamp a double or is it my old fuzzy eyes
Nice old piece.

Re: The Other Brands
Looking at it again, it might just be a double stamp...

Re: The Other Brands
I tried to do some more research today and find an approximate date of manufacture but no luck so far in finding that exact tang stamp. The other stamps pretty much have the HENRY SEARS & SONS markings, but not just Henry Sears Co.

Re: The Other Brands
Got this one in Monday. A DunLap U.S.A. Hawkbill or as listed in the Sears Catalogs a Pruner. The tang stamp is clear, and is listed as being used from 1938 until 1942, but Sears must have purchased plenty because the Dunlap pruners are listed in their catalogs up until 1952. i figured this would go good with my other Camillus family as I understand that the Dunlap Brand was Sears middle grade brand and many were produced by Camillus. I had to do a little cleaning on it. The blades were fine, but the pile side bolster had a large clump of rust, and pile side handle dark as if sitting in a drawer or box over a long period of time. The wood handles look like they had a heavy coat of varnish or shellac on them. I washed the knife with some Murphy's oil soap, then cleaned the handles with denatured alcohol, which removed the shellac. Then soaked in warm mineral oil overnight. Flushed with wd-40, then blew off with compressed air and let it dry. I've rubbed in four coats of boiled linseed oil on the wood handles. I think it turned out good. The blade is tight with strong snap, and positive half stop. The liner lock, and liners are all steal. The only things I've done to the blade is to polish with some Flitz and a microfiber towel. Here are some photos.

Re: The Other Brands
Thanks JP. I was really surprised at the condition of the blade myself, and the knife overall. Like you said, these were working knives and used to their fullest.

Re: The Other Brands
This morning, this became the latest pocket knife to join my "general" CAMILLUS collection. It came in a group of four pocket knives that I bought (not for this particular knife). It is a CAMCO USA, single blade, 1 tang stamp, 1 1/2" closed, 1 5/8" closed (including the loop/ring), advertising pocket knife. The main side says "LAUBE'S OLD SPAIN", the other side says "BUFFALO'S LEADING - RESTAURANT." It is in EXCELLENT condition and it didn't need to be cleaned. I took some pictures and here it is.

Re: The Other Brands
Evening Folks finally got a little time to post ,here’s latest in the mail . Received this High Carbon 3 blade bone covered piece . It’s tight ,no cracks in the bone,has some wear on main . Will clean it up ,sharpen it some and carry it now and then . Also show the 5 blade High Carbon bought awhile back from Cal here at the forum . May have shown that one here or in the Cattle knife area,either way here’s another pic or 2 . Both knives are 3 and 5/8 inches long and are very well built. The weight and feel of these oldies is something else that draws me to them ,some great craftsmanship back then .
Take care ,catch you all next time .

Re: The Other Brands
Here’s a High Carbon Trapper . Not a big fan of trappers but this one is one will tote once in awhile . Solid knife ,solid half stops and great snap . Nice bone covers and no brass . Made in the 1930 s by Camillus . Thought would oil it up and slip it in pocket for a day or 2 .
