Just in case someone doesn't know what an Argus C-3 is..............
"The Argus C3 was a low-priced rangefinder camera mass-produced from 1939 to 1966 by Argus in Ann Arbor, Michigan, United States. The camera sold about 2 million units, making it one of the most popular cameras in history. Due to its shape, size, and weight, it is commonly referred to as "The Brick" by photographers (in Japan its nickname translates as "The Lunchbox"). The most famous 20th-century photographer who used it was Tony Vaccaro, who employed this model during World War II."

This afternoon, this beauty arrived. It will make a wonderful addition to my "general" CAMILLUS collection. It's a CAMILLUS 60, 3 blade, 3 1/8" closed, milled liners, "split spring" whittler pocket knife. It needed very minor cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is. Click on a picture to ENLARGE.

Thank you Jim.

This is only my second CAMILLUS, "true" whittler pocket knife.
Both are COMPLETELY different from each other.
My other CAMILLUS, NO pattern #, "true" whittler.

Skip, I am curious. While I am generally not into very old knives (sacrilege, I know), that thing is a beauty.
My question; is the work on the springs all factory?

Thank you very much.

I honestly don't know if the spring
work was done in the factory or not.

Skip, I saw that one (or its twin) and was tempted to bid on it. Glad you got it - it needed to be somewhere it is appreciated.
