Last hour of an estate sale
I just so happened to stumble across an estate sale that was wrapping and this is what I picked up for $5. I cleaned it up but it only took me a couple minutes because it is in good shape. There are no cracks in the bone, the blades haven’t been whittled excessively and every blade has awesome snap. Plus I picked up a bunch of old tools and things for free.

Re: Last hour of an estate sale
It doesn’t happen often picking things that cheap. Now I’m wondering what else there was that I missed from the previous days. Oh well I’ll never know. But I do know opening day the knife probably wouldn’t have been that cheap.

Re: Last hour of an estate sale
It is scary to think of how close it came to be thrown away.
Great save, and congratulations on getting a good deal!

Re: Last hour of an estate sale
I know it’s crazy to think right now that knife could be in a landfill. The knife would have survived from the 30s / 40s just to be thrown away. There was a lot of stuff getting thrown away too. Nothing of use to me or anyone I know.

Wow!! A hard to find Camillus pattern, especially in the older 4 line stamp.

Re: Last hour of an estate sale
I'm not sure what happened but losing any knife for whatever reason sucks especially a Case. Hopefully it can be found.

Re: Last hour of an estate sale
That is a rare Camillus pattern, and it appears to be an great condition! You are very fortunate to have found it at such a ridiculously low price! I love those Roger’s Bone handles! Congratulations!
