I suppose this would be a good spot to post my no line 1946 (only year made) model 17. Thanks for looking.

VERY nice looking "17" Floyd.

Nice bone!

I recently picked up this 75 by way of eBay, mainly as I liked the blade selection. It's a smidge smaller than the 75, and a narrower handle. The snap and strength of the springs are extreme for a knife this small. From what I'm seeing in old catalogs, it was produced from 1955-1959. Handles are Brownstag, a synthetic material that (obviously) doesn't shrink as bad as whatever's on my 70.

Don't know which one of these is the oldest.
First one is a 3 line with a curved stamp on the secondary blade and ebony handles.
Second is a 3 line coffin handle jack with unusual handles.
Third is an easy open teardrop jack that has never been sharpened. I decided to leave it as is.
Fourth is a Geo. Washington commemorative.
Fifth is the same knife less the signature. Both are 4 line.
Lastly is a Sword Brand with celluloid handles that have pieces of pearl or abalone floating inside.

....does that first one have a dash, dot, dash underline under the curved Camillus????...... ...........

...if I'm reading my Goin's correctly, if the 3 line curved stamp was on the master, it would be 1902....since it's on the secondary, it's 1902-1915............. .............

Nice old Camillus'

Wow did you find a hidden Camillus treasure chest. Great old knives and variety.

Thank you Carrmillus.

Picked up this one this past week. A Camillus four line tang stamp Maritime single blade with wood handles. Great snap on this one.

P B, did you find a bottle with a Genie in it or something? You are coming up with some great knives. Wow!

I don't know, the stars must have lined up correctly the last week, I just kinda lucked up on them. I guess the old saying is true, even a blind hog finds an acorn occasionally.
