That’s a beautiful knife! I’m especially drawn to the bone handles.

JohnR , great #12 . That’s in great condition
Here’s a #17 and a#70 . They are both 3 and 5/8 inches and believe they are the same frame . They added a liner for the 3 blade #70 and the blade differences . The 17 has a worn out main but will have to do for now . The 70 has been used but is in much better shape.
Have a good weekend out there .

Sweet pick ups JP
Love especially the 17 but wouldn't pass up the 70 either

Here’s a Pharmacist tool with the short line stamp . This is a first here have seen a few older Camillus Doctors knives but not a pharmacist piece . The blade is much like a regular knife blade as far as tang/ stamp ,walk and talk . The nail Nick isnt in the best spot but the easy open cut out makes it much easier to open . The blade tapers out pretty thin towards its rounded end . The blade halfway out tapers and is flexible and thin like a feeler gauge . This piece is 3 and 5/8 inches long ( closed) and is in very good shape . Don’t think it was used to count too many pills .
The Company . B. Preiser Co.Inc. Charleston, W.Va. was founded in 1927 and is still in business under the name Preiser Scientific Co. They started out making pharmacy equipment, bottles,etc. They also have a spin off business that makes HO scale figures for the model train enthusiast. If your a model train guy check them out . There’s some pretty neat stuff ,any era ,military or civilian!

Recently, my trip to the post office produced this pocket knife. It now becomes my latest example to join this topic or thread and to join my general CAMILLUS collection. It is a CAMILLUS 60, three blades (one has a file), 3 5/16" closed, two tang stamps, milled liners, fancy springs, tip bolsters, "split spring", whittler pattern or style of pocket knife. The main blade front tang stamp (short line) says "CAMILLUS (over) NEW YORK (over) USA. The main blade back tang stamp says "60" Overall, this pocket knife is in GOOD condition. All three blades have decent snap. ALL three blades have no wobble.
I took some pictures and here it is.
