Re: The Other Brands
These are all knives made by Adolph Kastor and his brothers. They started in 1876 making knives which include the posted knives and Camillus knives. They had dozens of brands. TJ posted a link to the list of them at the beginning of this thread. Here is is http://lib.store.yahoo.net/lib/knifewor ... orlist.pdf

Re: The Other Brands
I'm the one off topic Carmillus. Probably the Morleys don't go here. Here is a Dunlap 1920- 1930s to get back on topic.
Re: The Other Brands
Question to experts - what time period and what patterns Camillus made knives for Case?
Re: The Other Brands
Vit,
I think that Camillus (and also Utica) did make some contract knives for Case after WWII, however, in order to get more accurate information I would suggest that you post your question in the Case forum. I believe that knifeaholic would be able to supply particulars. The answer may be in his book, however, I don't have it handy at the moment.

Re: The Other Brands
There is a thread in one of our forums where knifeaholic listed the Case patterns that were contacted to Camillus but I haven't found it yet. Sill looking.

Re: The Other Brands
Let me jump in here and answer Vit's last question.
knifaholic's book is "Collecting Case Knives", in fact there is now a 2nd edition of Mr. Steve Pfeiffer's work available. I haven't gotten the new one yet but the 1st edition is full of information and color pictures.

Re: The Other Brands
I bought the second edition of this book. I need a lot of time for a thorough examination, but I can say straight away that this is a grandiose work .treefarmer wrote:Let me jump in here and answer Vit's last question.

Re: The Other Brands
.......daddynewton, I have a pair of very old scissors I got for the wife years ago, very ornate, nickle silver,on one side is a stamp which reads- kastor & co., Germany(Camillus founder), on the oppositre side they are stamped w. h. morley & sons........so maybe there is a connection between Camillus/kastor and morley???.............. .........................daddynewton wrote:I'm the one off topic Carmillus.

Re: The Other Brands
Picked up this Fairmount, normally I don't buy celluloid knives but this one was in such good shape and the celluloid so pretty I went ahead. From what I understand Fairmount was a Camillus brand before WW2.
Re: The Other Brands
Beautiful old Fairmount.
Re: The Other Brands
WOW Dave, that Sta-Sharp is a Grrrrrrrrrrrr8 looking knife. Congrats on that one

Re: The Other Brands
Heck yeh!!! That's a Grrrrr8 one too. What time frame would you put on the camp knife? It looks old but the "Craftsman" etch looks pretty modern.

TJ, I am told from a knowledgeable collector, that it is 1920's, to mid 1930's.tjmurphy wrote: What time frame would you put on the camp knife? It looks old but the "Craftsman" etch looks pretty modern.

Re: The Other Brands
WOW! I just came across this list of makers and I think it comprises about half of the knives I own. Never realized they were associated with so many companies. I think I'll do a post of one knife from each of them.May take awhile though.
