Dated Camillus

The Camillus Cutlery Company was one of the oldest knife manufacturers in the United States with roots dating back to 1876. The company manufactured Camillus branded knives and was a prolific contractor for other knife brands up until its last days in 2007 when the company filed for bankruptcy.

It's a CAMILLUS and it's definitely DATED.
Today I add this pocket knife to my "general" CAMILLUS pocket knife collection. It is ONE of my HOLY GRAIL pocket knives. It is a 1949 CAMILLUS, single blade, 3 tool, brass liners, pocket knife. It is in EXCELLENT condition and didn't require any cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.

It's a CAMILLUS and it's definitely DATED.
Today I add this pocket knife to my "general" CAMILLUS pocket knife collection. It is a 1960 CAMILLUS, single blade, 3 tool pocket knife. It required a little cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.

Today I add this pocket knife to my "general" CAMILLUS pocket knife collection. It is a 1958 CAMILLUS, single blade, 3 tool pocket knife. A nice companion for the 1949, the 1959 and the 1960 that I posted here previously. It has a few issues. It also needed a little cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.
