..greg, I used to have one of those, I think I gave it to jerryd, those are pretty rare, too!!!.... ...........

Them things are as scarce as hen's teeth. Even at that, $379.95 is just a mite on the high side.

Well that's why I put "for your viewing pleasure" cause I knew I couldn't pay that for it!

Well, back to reality. This poor old girl just came in.Only $10.00 so maybe we can splurge a bit to bring her up to snuff.Her sisters [3 first gens and a second gen] will be rooting for her!

Ah, common Cuz. What else are you going to do with all that filthy lucre?

Run it through the washing machine and make it clean lucre.

I had that one on my watch list and came awful close to bidding but got sidetracked by a loomfixer. I'm glad it stayed in the family.

Thanks Tommy! Just a small collection but one of my favorites!

Wade if you had bid any more than 12 bucks it would have been yours

Greg, I agree with Tommy. Awesome collection of short lines. And what a bargain on the latest member. That's what I'd like to shoot for - a small collection of nothing but short line in bone. I wonder if all short line bone is Rogers? Who's your repair guy...Dale?

Here's one I just bought. It may be a herring in disguise or a trick of the lighting but when I looked at this long line 72 I swear I see a double sided sabre ground master blade. All you hawk eyed experts please confirm my suspicion or bring it crashing to the ground.

Good eye my friend. Saber ground on both sides of the main blade. Blades have little to no loss. Really good "Brownstag" handles (that brown synthetic used from mid 1950s - mid 1960s). You have yourself a winner.

This image will enlarge quite a bit more than the one you posted.

Ha! Maybe my eye doctor has been lying to me all this time. Jerryd we may be on the verge of cracking the case of the lost box of sabre ground blades!

I need to go through them again but I think I only have one long line with both sides saber ground and I'm pretty sure it's a 1047 Scout.

What's this one

Post 1989 Camillus 1047 (Boy Scout version of the 72. No pattern stamp on the pile side of the tang.).

...right now, there's a nice looking bone, splitback, 4 line on ebay, but the guy only accepts paypal, so I can't bid on it!!!....... ...........

Tony the same seller has this for sale also. If it is full,you might need it after buying that yellow jacket.

Tommy had one of those. He gave it to me (thank you Tommy). I knew he's generous but I didn't know he's that generous.

He wants $379.95 with no Make An Offer and he still wants $7.95 shipping. Sheesh
