Anyone have "Short-Line Fever"? It's better than Covid-19

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.

The maker's mark is pretty worn, but it looks like I might have one more Short-Line in the stash that I over looked....

Morning G dog, Kind of cool to find a 72 you didn’t know that you had!! It looks to be 2 nd gen 72,bone covers , and May very well be a short line .
In any case ,nice looking 72, would make a great EDC !

Yesterday, this pocket knife got added to my collection. It's a CAMILLUS 72, 3 blade, swelled center, 3 5/8" closed, short line tang stamp, 2nd generation, "whittler" pocket knife. It needed very little cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.

Today, this pocket knife joined my "general" CAMILLUS collection. It's a CAMILLUS 23, 2 blade, short line, 4 7/32" closed pocket knife. This is my second "23", but my first short line "23." It needed a little cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.
