Re: Camillus Ephemera
I found a cool Counter Sales Display last year.
There was an old catalog inside which listed this model display as #85.
I wish I could buy all the knives that are listed on the display at those sticker prices.

If you get a chance could you show us a few pages from the catalog,would like to compare it to our other info and see if anything new or interesting pops up . And it would be a challenge to fill it with appropriate knives,some here could probably fill it from there collection!!
Thanks for sharing your pics and info.

Re: Camillus Ephemera
Per your request.
Cover - Front & Back.
Based on the Factory Picture, I would date this catalog to no later than 1972.
All the cars I can see are definitely late 60's but the distinctive gold AMC gremlin parked all by itself helps the dating.
The Gremlin was not sold until 1970.

Re: Camillus Ephemera
Arriving yesterday afternoon, this pocket knife box became the latest item to be added to this topic or thread and to my CAMILLUS ephemera collection. It is a CAMILLUS, pattern "51" (BARLOW) pocket knife box. Overall, it is in GOOD condition with just some general wear.
