Looking for any info.

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.

Looking for any info.

Post by Olson12 »

Camillus, #11 Lockback with Iron & Steel Workers insert commemorating the 75th anniversary of the 1919 steel strike. Inscribed with 0002 on the handle... any idea of a value on this? Thanks!

Welcome to AAPK.

The American Wildlife Series usually sell from $25-$40. I doubt yours would sell for more unless it's in pristine condition and you found a buyer who was/is or had been associated with the Iron & Steel Workers. Might go for more if you got a couple of those guys bidding against each other. Just like real estate is location, location, location, knives are condition, condition, condition.

This is just my opinion from observation but knives etched with or named to a non-mainstream organization don't seem to do as well as the same model knife that's without embellishment. Again just my opinion.

I second Jerry's feedback.
Unless you find some who is collecting Union related items, it is just a knife and has the value of any other similar knife of that pattern. ::shrug::
