Here are a few:
The Barlow is a bit unusual in that the liner extends past the end of the knife with a hole drilled in it for a lanyard.

Just picked up this little Camco ,going to try and fill up my Camco display case I have had for a few years,will be looking for the colorful handled Camco knives.

Just got through binge reading this thread. A great variety of CAMCO knives all you guys have posted. I will have to dig a few of mine out for photos. I've always liked the Camco's although a lot of people consider them cheap low end. But they hold fond memories for me as a kid back when each mom & pop store used to have at least 1 card of Camco's to look at.

Got a few Camcos out today ,put a little oil on them . Do use the Barlow a bit ,it holds a good edge. Had most of these for some years now. All seem to be decent knives.

Thank you Sir, that’s a nice Barlow you got there , the Camco brand was a good old affordable knife.

Mr. CAMCO and SON. Picked them up separately but get a kick out of displaying them together. 4-5/8" and 2-1/2" Ticklers. As someone said above, they take me back to what knives were when we were boys (and girls). Really enjoy the thread.

Today, this became the latest pocket knife to join my "general" CAMILLUS collection. It came in a group of four pocket knives that I bought (not for this particular knife). It is a CAMCO USA, single blade, 1 tang stamp, 1 1/2" closed, 1 5/8" closed (including the loop/ring), advertising pocket knife. The main side says "LAUBE'S OLD SPAIN", the other side says "BUFFALO'S LEADING - RESTAURANT." It is in EXCELLENT condition and it didn't need to be cleaned. I took some pictures and here it is.
Caption(s), if any, are on the BOTTOM of the corresponding picture(s).

This is my one and only Camco 521, that I have owned since probably before 1960. It's not a great knife, but it's by far the prettiest.
Sorry for the glare on the photos.

Have a blessed day,

Leon

Awhile back I bought this salesman sample roll and this rare camco snap-it was in it.

One of the few Camco marked knives I have.
