What is Your Latest Old Camillus? (pre-1960)

[doglegg]

Wow beautiful!!!

Missed that one JP, beautiful knife, congratulations on adding it to your collection.


Picked up a mint unused 4 line Camillus 3 3/8" cracked ice stockman, Sword Brand stamp main, 4 line stamp both secondaries, really a sweet little knife, lot of blade in a smaller package. Always wonder how a knife makes it 70 plus years being unused.

John , you've got all the knives.

John , you've got all the knives.

Don't now about that Lyle, missing quite a few Farmers Jacks, but I know where they are.

[doglegg]

You both have awesome knives.

John , that’s a very nice knife! It is amazing how some things ,taken care of properly ,are in such good shape after so many years.
Nice addition to your collection .

Here are two four liners with nice stable celluloid handles in as found condition I grabbed in August. Both have seen a bit of use. The the multicolored handle's colors really jump when light hits it just right. Does anyone know if a list has ever been compiled of different celluloid handle patterns?

I dig them.

Lama, haven’t seen or read anything about cell handled patterns . Only have these 2 - 4 line cell covered . Nice snappy little things. The cell is holding up well it seems . Have seen some very colorful stuff over the time .
Sorry , Not much help. Interesting question though .
And that yellow and Orange one is Cool !

Thanks Edge and JP. Somewhere in the recesses of my dim memory I think I ran into a description of different celluloid patterns other than Candy Stripe and Christmas Tree, but can't remember where.

JP- Is the green handled pen you showed a Sword Brand? I just received one just like it, if so. Maybe there's more pigment or something in the mix, but the handle material seems denser than the ones I showed. It also has a mat finish as opposed highly polished. I wonder if this would make a difference in its stability? That Jack in the background is pretty sweet also.

The Green handled pen is a 4 line ,stamped both tangs . Don’t mess with these much .prefer bone,Ebony and Pearl covers . But it is a dense material . Seems to be holding up okay but do keep them separate. The Jack is a Sword brand with Etch . Just got it and very happy for 45 bucks !
Good luck with your collecting. Take care .

Here is a pre-60s No. 70 Cattle knife.

Not sure if this is pre-60s or not. This is a #16 jack with beautiful brown bone handles.

That No line looks to be 1946/47 if I remember correctly. Doglegg would know exact years but think that’s correct. Definitely pre 1960 and a hard model number to find . Great catch
The #70 is another harder to find pattern # . Great catch there as well .

[GSPTOPDOG]

Here is a 4-Line. I am not sure about the pattern # on the 4-Line, I could not find it in my book. Anyone out there know?
