I posted this in the "camillus #72" topic yesterday. It belongs in this topic also as it is my "Latest Old Camillus" and it's pre-1960. It's a CAMILLUS 72, 3 blade, swelled center, 3 5/8" closed, short line, "whittler" pocket knife (First Generation 72).

I picked this one up earlier last week. A #23 Large Equal End Jack with handles Camillus called Grain White Pyroxylin, which I understand is a type of celluloid. The blades have many minute scratches, but have excellent snap with no wobble, and has some of the original luster. I've done nothing to the knife other than oil the joints.

Papa B ,nice 23 short line ,well done Sir . The 23 is one I need yet for my Camillus Collection, in a short line.
Just got this 4 line EO in the mail yesterday !! Great knife ,already got it in pocket. Not a thing wrong with it . Put a edge on it and it’s going to be a great EDC. Stay safe out there.
