Anyone recognize this old beauty? The only marking on it is "Made In USA". It is 4 and 1/4" overall closed with steel bolsters, liners, and pins.

I think Camillus made for Sears wore that stamp at one time.

Wow, thanks. I saw one about twenty years ago. Mint. The guy wouldn't take any offer for it. Is that yours? J.O'.
