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.

Picked up this Sword Brand box to go with that group in the collection. Skip posted one like this on the previous page. Had been looking for one like it and will use it in my future pre 1950 sword brand collection .
Take care out there .

JP, a VERY NICE acquisition!!
It looks to be in VERY GOOD, overall condition.
A helluva lot better looking than mine. But mine is a DIFFERENT box.
Your box is the same as Dimitri's (Miller Bro's) box.
CONGRATULATIONS!!

Yesterday morning, my visit to the post office produced this CAMILLUS pocket knife box. It now becomes my most recent example to be posted under this topic or thread. It also became the most recent item to be added to my general, CAMILLUS ephemera collection. It is a CAMILLUS, pattern "72", pocket knife box. This is my very first CAMILLUS "72" pocket knife box. The cover (#11) and the box (#11) match. The price of $2.25 is hand-written on the cover. The CAMILLUS "72" pocket knife that is illustrated on the label is a FIRST GENERATION CAMILLUS "72" pocket knife. Overall, this CAMILLUS "72" pocket knife box is in VERY GOOD condition. I took some pictures and here it is.

POST 1 of 2.
Very recently, my visit to the post office produced this "CAMILLUS KNIVES" catalog. It now becomes my latest example to be posted under this topic or thread. It also became the latest example to be added to my CAMILLUS catalog collection. This catalog has 12 pages, NOT INCLUDING the front and inside front cover. Also, NOT INCLUDING the back and inside the back cover. This catalog measures 8 7/16" X 10 3/4" There is a hand-written date of 11/16/49 on the front cover. On the first page it says, "CATALOG NO. 50" So, I do believe that this catalog is for the 1950 CAMILLUS KNIVES, and that this catalog was obtained by a previous owner in November 1949. It appears that this CAMILLUS KNIVES catalog was for dealers. This catalog has NO PRICES listed. This catalog has NO DAMAGE. This catalog is COMPLETE, INTACT, and in VERY GOOD condition. I scanned the entire catalog and here it is, in its entirety.

Awesome catalog Skip! Thanks for posting it.
Page 7 really got my attention with the “ new patterns “ being offered . It has shed some light on a few short line questions already.
Very nice addition to this thread
