All About Pocket Knives

This pocket knife arrived very recently in a group or lot of pocket knives that I purchased. This pocket knife now becomes my most recent example to be posted under this topic or thread. I did NOT purchase the group or lot of pocket knives to obtain this particular pocket knife. However, this pocket knife did turn out to be a keeper and it will be added to my general CAMCO (CAMILLUS) pocket knife collection. It is a CAMCO, one blade, one tang stamp, 3 1/8" closed, tip bolsters, lockback, pocket knife. The main blade front tang stamp says, "CAMCO (over) USA" If this pocket knife ever had any advertising on it, it is not there now. Overall, this pocket knife is in GOOD+ condition. It did require some minor cleaning.
I took some pictures and here it is.
Caption(s), if any, are on the BOTTOM of the corresponding picture(s).

CAMCO Lockback! WOW! I haven't seen this before.

If you're referring to my lockback CAMCO
pocket knife, I thank you, msteele6.

I was able to pick up 10 pocket knives this week. One is a Camco. This humble Barlow. Tight with great snap. I'll be carrying it.

A few....

Nice little.grouping. Is the Benedictine and Julius Wile same knife different sides, and the other bartender knife plain with no inscription?

Ike, the inscription has faded over time... much like my own youth and vigor... .... .....

Just received my first two Camco knives. Both are pearloid advertising knives that I believe are from the 60s.

Nice. Maybe 50's ? J.O'.

The first is #801, the second is probably #272. Both are Nu-pearl (synthetic). Both are 50s.

My solo Camco - part of my New Britain CT collection.

One of my favorite patterns! But this is already the 70s
In the 60s it looked like this

I have a similar Camco that I carry regularly. I got it from another member, but I don't recall whom. It might have been a POS exchange?
Anyway, it is a handy little knife!

Camco + Santa Fe Stoneworks
I've never seen such a combination. Does anyone know the origin of this knife?

Vit - what did you see that makes you think Santa Fe Stoneworks?

That one is a real L👁👁KER, GSPTOPDOG!

Santa Fe Stone was the first thing that came to my mind. They worked a lot with Camillus so.... It is a cool looking knife.
