Don't get dollar signs in your eyes just yet Tommy. I think he has it priced about double the top end. But then I live at a lower economic level than most so I'm seeing it with different eyes.

That's the same one we saw earlier. It's already gone through one listing with no sale but it looks like he's sticking with his price.

.......the one I'm droolin' over is that bone 4 line splitback, but the guy only takes paypal!!!........... ..............

How about this one Tommy?

Since Jerry & Co. basically have us neophyte #72 collectors boxed out as far as the first-gen old bone beauties go, I've decided to try and focus on a more eclectic subset of #72s. This one arrived today:

Tony, that's a real nice pick up there. Ya done good.

........"jerry & co."- I like that!!!....how do we get on the payroll, jerry????.............. ..............................

Tsar Bomba, from one neophyte to another, I think Jerry would consider that one a "clone" and would be acceptable. Nice one.

If memory serves, and often it does not, that isn't a clone. It's a real deal Camillus SFO made for Wards.

You're already on the payroll Tommy. In fact, you are probably the CEO since you were probably collecting these before I even knew what a "Camillus" was.

Tony, I do consider it a very acceptable "clone" since it was made by Camillus.

Edit: and then I saw the post that Cuz made and realized that was more accurate than what I had to say. Though "made for Wards" is brand new information to me. Are you sure about that. To my knowledge, Stanley is a stand alone company.

From Wikipedia: "Stanley Hand Tools is a brand of hand tools. It is a division of Stanley Black & Decker, following the 2010 merger of The Stanley Works with Black & Decker."

Since we're on the Stanleys, I have one which was a gift from T.J. that needs a shield. If any of you ever run onto a Stanley shield, please keep me in mind.

..jerry, I just went thru my junkbox, I would have sworn I had one!!..if it turns up, it's yours!!.... ..........

Tony, I think "Jerryd and Co." Is actually more akin to "Robin and his Merry Men" and we'really not really sure which one is Robin. So far the only payroll I have seen is what you can manage to "steal" of of eBay as most of us are pretty much bottom feeders.

...first thing that popped into my mind was the "DIRTY DOZEN"!!!........ ............

I Won this short line 72 today. Haven't gotten it yet. It looks like delrin handles but no shield. What's up with that?

Not going to be Delrin Greg. That knife was made in the 1940s, long before Delrin was patented much less produced. In fact I'm surprised the handles are not bone. Good looking knife though. It's a winner.

Nice catch Greg! I'm with Jerry. I have one just like it. Short line. Black with no shield. So I took a closer look with my loop and it sure looks like bone to me! Can't wait to you get it home and let us know what you have!

That's good news Jerryd! I won it for $17,50 which was covered by my ebay bucks ,so I got it for free.

Randy, If you're talking about Greg's knife, it's not bone. It's that black synthetic that was more stable than Shrinky Dink and used up into the '60s.

Nice price Greg and "free" is even better.

Jerry I stand corrected sir! I guess I can't trust my eyes, even with a loop! So I put mine under my field "monoscope". Its a students microscope used to study rocks. so I put it under the scope and I still had to do some looking. Wished I could take a pic through the scope. Right around the pivot pin pocket brought the facts to light. Too smooth to be bone! Sorry if I got your hopes up Greg...

Ain't no thing Randy. From what I can tell from the pictures, it's still a great knife.

Sorry, wrong forum.

Here is a Camillus #72 i just won: Delrin, BSA shield, half saber grind and clip blade secondary opposite end from master.
Odd patina/staining on master blade but otherwise looks good. Would you say $26 is about right for this knife ? There has been a lot of 72 buying action recently so likely price ranges for each 'generation' are getting established.
