Hello,
I'm new to this site, my father in law Walter Lang was a Vice President at Camillus Cutlery for many years until his retirement in 1972. I have a nice collecion of Camillus knives and would ask anyone out there if they have or know of anyone who has Camillus displays they would like to sell.
Thanks in advance for your help
Martin

Martin, welcome to AAPK.
Do you have a #53 two blade Jack. I have two with no pattern number stamped on the tang. The only reason I know they are a #53 pattern is I saw a picture, here while back, of one that was stamped 53 on the pile side of the tang. Those are the only three I've ever seen. I can't find anything on these knives. They aren't in any of the catalogs (online) I have access to. They have a long line stamp so they had to be made sometime between the middle-late '50s to some time in the late '70s - early '80s. Since the handles are that black synthetic material, I feel reasonably more like the middle '50s - early '60s.
I understand this is not what you were looking for but I'm grasping at straws here and you look like a good source to mine.

It's always important to know what you don't know.
