Anyone have "Short-Line Fever"? It's better than Covid-19

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.

Think this puts me about half way on the trek for one of each short line . It’s getting hard to find some ! Especially in decent condition or better .
Have a great Memorial Day weekend out there ::tu::
Nice find J.P. ! ::tu:: Looks like you done got lucky again ::nod::

If I combined all the (Brandname/mark) "fevers" I have, I'd probably vaporize! Great knives all! J.O'.

Just now in my hands, thanks to the mailman... ANOTHER "SHORT-lINE"#1. I am happy with the condition, as I am going to carry it and rotate it through my EDC.

Very recently, I brought this pocket knife home from the post office. It is one of a two pocket knife lot that I purchased. This particular pocket knife WAS the object of my purchase. It is a CAMILLUS 72, first generation, three blade, swelled center, 3 5/8" closed, two tang stamps (a short line maker stamp and the pattern # stamp), a long matchstrike or blade pull, "whittler" pocket knife. The main blade front tang stamp says "CAMILLUS (short underline) (over) NEW YORK (over) USA" The main blade back tang stamp is the "72" pattern number. The three blades have NO wobble at all. The three blades ALL have good snap. It is in EXCELLENT condition. It did NOT need any cleaning at all, I just wiped it off.
I took some pictures and here it is.
