Thank you. The vendor said it is from 1946-1956 (hence my choice of prop).
If I see another 75, I'll let you know.

Camillus called that one (3-3/8" closed) a Junior Cattle Knife. Hard to tell from a picture but those handles look like they might be dark brown synthetic which Camillus called Brownstag® and introduced in about 1956. They used it until shortly after 1965 when they switched over to Delrin®. Soooo that makes your knife ~1956 to ~1966 or so. Even if the handles are not Brownstag®, those dates still stand because of the tang stamp. It's also a long line tang stamp so that would fall into some of that time frame. It's extremely difficult to date Camillus knives and almost impossible to get any closer to a date than that.

I stand corrected, dates to 1956-1966.....Thank you Jerry D.
Oh, the handles are a deep brown. Vendor stated material is bone.

Ahhh the 75. I am a big fan. I prefer it over the 72, so go ahead and throw yer stones fellers.

Paul if we all liked the same thing then there would only be one kind of everything and that would be a boring world.
