..that one looks an awful lot like the one I carry everyday, except mine is a 3 1/4" sleeveboard pattern and it has the brass kick separating the secondary blades instead of the spring spacer!!........ .........New_Windsor_NY wrote: ↑Tue Feb 18, 2020 8:35 pmThank you Tommy.

Just picked up a bone teardrop stamped "Sword Brand" and the Camillus 4 line stamp on the pen blade. Similar to an Ebony EO that I picked up previously.
Pocket, fixed, machete, axe, it's all good!

Re: What is Your Latest Old Camillus? (pre-1960)
I don't know how accurate this information, since Camillus made three versions of the George Washington knife. The first one was offered in 1932, the second version was a smaller knife sold at the 1939 World's Fair and the third version was introduced in the 1990's.carrmillus wrote: ↑Sat Mar 21, 2020 9:56 pm ...........Goin's says 1915-1918 for that mark!!........ ...........
This is the second version.

And one more indirect sign. It seems to me that in 1915-1918 Babe Ruth was not yet so famous that knives would be released in his honor .

This Washington Jack pattern (2021) dates to the 1930s. On the ends are Keen Kutters with a Hibbard and a Moore Handley between them.
