Good evening everyone, picked this 66 up last week. All in all just a good old stockman. The image on the main clip blade kind of made me laugh. Can’t make heads or tails of it. I ::shrug::

It's not an image. It is what we generally refer to as 'spidering'.

Fished a Camillus EO 33 out of the bay this week. It needs some clean up. I am always attracted to the short lines. Thanks for looking. ::tu::

I purchased this 4 pocket knife lot for best offer. A CAMILLUS 5, single blade toothpick, pocket knife. A CAMILLUS 7, single blade, SWORD BRAND CAM-LOC, pocket knife. A CAMILLUS 72, 3 blade, swelled center, 3 5/8" closed, "whittler" pocket knife. A CAMILLUS 73, 2 blade, 1 tool pocket knife. The CAMILLUS 5 & 7 needed no cleaning. The CAMILLUS 72 needed very little cleaning. The CAMILLUS 73 needed a good cleaning. I took some pictures and here they are.

Top to Bottom:
The CAMILLUS 5 - Near Mint condition.
The CAMILLUS 7 - Slight cosmetic "damage" to one handle. Otherwise, Excellent+ condition.
The CAMILLUS 72 - Excellent condition.
The CAMILLUS 73 - The handles are a mess. Otherwise, Good condition.

Congrats Skip, all good. You see a lot of the # 5's with that no line stainless stamp but that 73 is a find with the elusive no line stamp. Those have gotten to be a magnet to me. Glad you got that one ::nod:: ::nod:: ::tu:: ::tu:: ::tu::

Thank you Floyd.🍻
I really bought the lot just to get the #5 and the #7. My first of both patterns. The "damage" on the #7 is
of no concern to me. It's more like a blemish. As far as the #73 is concerned, maybe I'll see if one of
AAPK's cutlery artisans can rehandle it.

Good looking group Skip. One of the best looking No. 5's I've seen. No.7, with a working cam lock is a plus. The 72 is just gravey to the mix. I agree with you on the 73, get the old girl a new dress and she can still dance for years. Great finds!!

I just found myself a 22LR1 knife. I have been thinking about trying to find one of these for a while. This one just jumped up and ask me to buy it.
