So, was it a mole or a beauty mark? ::hmm::

Congrats. Great knife.

I don't have much in the way of desirable old scouts and camp knives but I do have some nice, functional models and one or two HOKs that have some tales to tell.

Missing here are some of my Colonials and most of my MIL-K-818 "demo knives" -- mostly Camillus with a smattering of Kingston, Queen and Imperial -- which I'll need to gather together and photograph for this thread...

Oh, and here's my favorite kind of scout, the Beer Scout. :mrgreen:

Not as nice or as valuable as that Ulster but I like it!
I collect miniature scout knives too. Especially celluloid bolster ones. Here are a few of them. I have one I can't find right now that has yellow celluloid handles with green celluloid bolsters.

I admire your collection a lot. I started collecting scout/utility type patterns a couple of months ago. I am far from your collection, but maybe one day...

Congratulations on a very nice, and unique collection Mark. I've never seen a knife with celluloid bolsters until now.

Nice etch on that Presto Mike and the tip cleanup came out top notch. I'm glad you have a Presto in your collection again.

My latest scout pattern acquisitions. A Craftsman 9467 and an Official Girl Scout Utica Featherweight. The Utica is a gift from Cal (tongueriver) that he kindly included in his POS round table package. Thanks Cal!

Mumbleypeg: Those are two very good looking knives in great shape. If you don't mind my asking, did you get the Craftsman from ebay, or a private source?

The Craftsman came from eBay. I've had another 9467 Craftsman for years, but it has an unusual style bale. Gave me an excuse to get another one with the more conventional bale.
