Re: Knives Made Before The Year 1960
Don't feel bad Bill, most all the pictures I posted on here were taken with my old Mavica I bought new in 1998!!BWT wrote:Thanks Dimitri,Lee, some of them look much better in person, I have to use an old Samsung camera phone, doesn't work so well, especially the focus.
Time for me to buy a new camera, as I can no longer transfer the pictures from the floppy disc to a tablet

Re: Knives Made Before The Year 1960
Well dang-nab-it, we can't have a pre-1960s thread without at least a couple of Camillus 72s in it and since I haven't seen one yet, I'll volunteer a couple, plus a few other Camillus.
As long as we're at it, let me add a pre-1950 Camillus 14 with bone handles.
I guess this Camillus 33 EZ-Open fits the bill.
As does this Camillus pre-WWII Sword Brand Scout.
This Camillus 99 Camp knife has been spruced up some and the picture's sub-par but y'all get the idea.
I mustn't forget this Camillus Sword Brand, Split-spring Whittler that Tommy blessed me with. Thanks Tommy (Carmillus).

Re: Knives Made Before The Year 1960
Say Bill, I really like the pictures you posted. I'm especially fond of the Bud brand jack. Here is yet another New England tang stamp I didn't know existed. Do you have any more info on it? If you ever get tired of owning it I might be able to give it a good home. Thanks for sharing, Steve Budd.

Keep your edge sharp, otherwise you just can't cut it.

Re: Knives Made Before The Year 1960
Bill,
you knocked it out of the park with that last group. Very nice knives!
Very impressive group of knives, Greg.
I've got an Empire grapefruit knife too, somewhere.
That hobe is topshelf.

Re: Knives Made Before The Year 1960
Thanks Lee, I had never heard of Bud Brand but it was rare and in excellent unused condition.. I like the rare brand, mostly what I collect. I started about a year ago collecting and I had been wanting a George Woodhead which I found a couple weeks ago. It is one of my oldest and has what looks like maybe some old type of horn, and rare.LongBlade wrote:Bill - great old knives - all of them![]()

Not sure I showed this Woodhead combo here on this thread - a Woodhead Bowie along with a swell-center pen... Now if I could find a Barnes folder to go with my dagger - I saw some Barnes folders recently but I didn't think they were in great condition especially coupled to the price being asked... patience is a virtue in collecting

Re: Knives Made Before The Year 1960
Jerry, nice Camillus knives, especially the #14 two blade jack!
Bill, like Joe said, out of the park! As others have commented, the Bud Brand is special. I am also partial to the George Woodhead, very nice color of horn!
Greg, great selection of unique old knives!
Beautiful pair of Woodheads, Lee!
Great doglegs, Dimitri!
