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

[DM11]

I fished this old early 30's to mid 40's jack knife out of the shallow end of the bay. Walk and talk are excellent. I am pleased to add it to the family. Thanks for looking. 20240511_115822.jpg20240511_115827.jpg20240511_115758.jpg

D.L. you done good! I Like it!

I love the #23 pattern.... and I love the Short-Line .... so, I have added one more to the ever growing "Pile" .....

P.S. What is the deal with the #23 and all of these felt producers? ...

23's are a very substantial knife. Great size and if it is a short line, even better.

Thanks D.L. I really like the overall size and heft to it .... and I have a preference for a spear point on my EDC.

Here’s a short line 72 that came from the bay. Got it right ,has piece of bone missing on shield side. Great snap , blades are not to bad. Needs cleaning and oil. Might check with a couple of our knife mechanics/ magicians and get it fixed . The federal shield on a short line 72 was the reason for pursuing this one.
And a 3 and 3/8 inch long ( closed) tourist knife. This has the Sword Brand tang stamp and4 line Camillus stamp on the main . The smaller pen blade has the 4 line stamp . So probably 1920 s to 1930 s made for the California tourist sector. Blades are snappy and in decent shape. Needs oil and cleaning. Very well built for a tourist knife. Doesn’t look like the covers are gassing out ! It should be fine after all these years but will keep it separate .

Here’s.....

JP, those are two VERY nice pocket cutlery acquisitions.
Good find with the CAMILLUS 72, second generation!

Great pick ups JP. Lovely old 72 even with the little bit of bone missing.

Received this 3 1/4 inch long Jack knife yesterday. Is just like George described it . Great seller by the way !! Both blades stamped with 4 line stamp and main has the Sword brand etch . Both blades have half stops . This is a nice addition to the Sword brand sub collection within the Camillus collection .
The hunt continues for a gunstock framed Sword brand and a few other hard to find models .
You all have a good one out there!

I picked up this well-used no-line Camillus last weekend. There's no pattern number visible. It measures 3 5/8".
Thanks for looking.

This 3 line Jack came in last week . Early 1900s . 3 and a 1/2 inches closed . Great snap and 1/2 stops . And my favorite bone choice . This shield is a first for the collection . Not sure if it’s a hour glass or figure shield or what. Will see if that shields thread has that answer .
Take care .

JP, that one is a looker! Sweet patern and bones.

Beautiful old knife JP .

Newest piece and first of the New Year, absolutely love this knife and quite happy to own. I don’t own many knives and yet has to be one of my top few that are my favorite.

I've already bragged on that one on another thread but I didn't brag enough. That's a wonderful knife!!!
