Re: What is Your Latest Old Camillus? (pre-1960)
The EO Jack was made during WW II. Lots of them 'out there', both Camillus and Imperial but the vast majority have been used ++ and it's not common to get one with a full master blade like this one has.
I used to collect these old EO bone Jacks and had about 50-60 of them. At that time very few people were bidding for them on ebay so i often got them for $30 or less. Now they are more in demand and prices are higher.

'With the one I have, some nitwit thought that it would be a good idea to make a clip blade out of the spear. It looks horrible, and doesn't really work too well, as it defeats the purpose of the EO. I do use it, it's my desk knife.kootenay joe wrote: ↑Thu Oct 15, 2020 3:50 pm The EO Jack was made during WW II.

Re: What is Your Latest Old Camillus? (pre-1960)
Here is a Camillus 51 two blade Barlow. Camillus has the long underline so it might be older than 1960 but i don't know when this stamping was last used ? And with this dark dye i am unsure if Delrin or bone. If Delrin then after 1960.
Expert Camillus help needed please.

From Goins.
One of the last two.
Goins was published in 1998.
I apologize for the bad picture. Was in a hurry.

I don't see any difference between 1960-1976, san serif, and 1976 to present (2007) stamps.

Skip, thank you for posting info on Camillus stampings. I can now see that my Barlow is 1960 to late 1970's.

I recently acquired and have added this pocket knife to my "general" CAMILLUS pocket knife collection. It is a 1959 CAMILLUS, single blade, 3 tool pocket knife. It makes a great partner for my 1949 CAMILLUS pocket knife of the same pattern. It is in EXCELLENT condition.
Here's the link to the 1949 CAMILLUS.

Re: What is Your Latest Old Camillus? (pre-1960)
Skip, another nice old piece. That looks to be in great shape, so does that 49 . You got a good eye for collecting . I got a 83 from my service days and would like to find a 1958 , that’s my birth year and good excuse to buy one .New_Windsor_NY wrote: ↑Fri Jan 01, 2021 12:41 am I recently acquired and have added this pocket knife to my "general" CAMILLUS pocket knife collection.

Re: What is Your Latest Old Camillus? (pre-1960)
Picked up this WW 2 Army Air Corp pilots knife of the bay the other day. Silvey says that Camillus made about 1 million of these knives during the war. Ulster also produced some. Some poor sharpening marks on the blades, no snap on the main blade but over all in good enough shape to please me. Now to watch for the Ulster. Thanks for looking.
