From the tang stamp it looks like it was made between 1941 - 1946 I think.

Yep, Rogers bone handles, steel pins and probably steel liners and bolsters. I think you nailed it Mike. I have one just like it that has a chunk out of the mark side handle. Beauty handles, eh?

Yep, all steel... Yep, i like the scales. That is what caught my eye.
This guy had several knives in a case marked "any knife in this case $30"... I needed some more money.

Yep... Carrmillus... there is a tang stamp on the secondary blade also.

3 cigar jack cousins--The pick bone with the CAMILLUS etch has the early 3 line stamp

...those 3 are real winners!!!!!..... ..........

Those are some nice ones Toolboy!

I agree! Those are great examples.

Surprisingly nice SRM605. Yeah. It's not old and Sexy. But it cuts and that's what a knife is for.

scarce gunstock pattern--3 5/8" closed--1/2 stops--iron bolsters

...that's the first one of those I've ever seen!!!...nice find!!... ........

I would have sworn that I didn't put that SRM in this thread. I humbly am sorry!

So many fine looking Camillus knives here it makes my head spin!

I only have one so far but it's a start at least.

Here it is, my C-4, sorry for double posting it!

Camillus utility knife 4-line stamp. Shield is unusual but looks original. Any comments welcome

....I really like the bonne on the old Camillus knives!!!!..it's a beauty!!!.... ......

Have three Camillus so far (and one very special one on its way). Two short-line knives - the pruner (my eldest ) & Jack knife (1946-1950) and the electrician's knife with tang stamp "Camillus" over "New York" over U.S.A. and no underline (1946-1956?).
All blades snap the Camillus way!

Here's my first two Camillus knives. They are in pretty good condition. I've just started collecting these, and I'm pretty excited to find a few more rare ones.

Great looking knives everybody, here is a old 4 line. I like the bone on this one. I think the master blade is a lil short Monte

Here's the special one I wrote about a few posts back, a Camillus #72 1st generation Carpenter & Whittler knife. It arrived in the mail Wednesday of last week. Thanks Harold (Stockman)!!!

Tommy, Thanks, buddy! I wish he did. I'd let you guys in on it so you all would own one. You'd be first on my list and first shot at this one if I ever decide to sell or maybe trade. I was also considering something late at night after I posted it on the #72 thread - I wanted it go to someone who had a sizable collection; someone deserving of it - but was convinced by someone to "please keep it". I had to honor that wish.
