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 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.

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

I recently received this Camco 751 two blade jack knife. The Delrin handles are in good shape. Both blades have good snap. Just needs some cleaning. When I get the time I’m going to give it a bath in the ultrasonic cleaner and give her a lube job. I have to say that I really like this knife! It will definitely be part of my EDC rotation!
