Go ahead and admit it, Jerry. That Camillus 23 got tumor perkin'.

Nice finds.

That pearl and abalone is super

Joe, I think I'm more drawn to the Camillus 14s & 18s. And then there's the Imperial 362s & 858s plus a Case 6292 & a 6344HE. Oh, and I don't want to forget this 3-3/8" Old Cutler (Colonial?).

Oh, you've got it bad!
Poor guy.

Knice scores Lawrence!

Long line Camillus 72 with green bone handles and in good condition. First long line with bone I've ever seen. (sellers pictures)

Nice bone on that 72.
The Case app bone is some very nice stuff. Good looking knives guys.

Nice one, Jerry. She is a rare bird for sure. I don't see a pattern number on it, is that kind of hit or miss thing or was it originally a scout?

I don't know the answer to that T.J. It doesn't look to me like it's been apart. The short line I have with "Boy Scout Whittler" etched on the blade has a 1047 blade but it doesn't have a shield. Different tang stamps, different eras??? Wrong blade at the factory????? Will the mystery ever be solved??

Thanks guys, I'm happy with this batch. And Jerry, your 72's are spectacular

Glennbad...I had to come home with the corkscrew knife because it reminded me of picnicking in the Dolomite mountains in Italy. My uncle used a knife to cut bread, cheese and salami and to open a bottle of wine. This one looks like it would do that job quite well. cheers

............never thought of that , jerry!!.......I've got about 20, but I think they're all delrin!!......the 3 short line ones I've got are all bone!!.......... ............................

I copied all the catalog entries for the 72 starting with the 1946 catalog and ending with the 1972 catalog. I'll post that over in the Camillus thread. It's interesting to see the evolvement of the handles and what they called them.

Scores from today's estate sale.

ROLLS RAZOR, wood handle fish scaler, hatchet, Imperial lobster knife...

TOO COOL....SCOTT
GREAT SNAGS

Found these 2 this past weekend!

Leatherman PST II and BUCK 425

What a haul, Scott!

If I'm not mistaken, I belive the "fish scaler" is actually a
horse gromming tool!!!

Joe

Today's estate sale finds.....

Wow Scott you find the coolest stuff at your estate sales. Love the stone and the knives!
If you should come across a nice Remington electricians knife keep me in mind if you can, there hard to find.

Nice variety of finds just lately boys I picked this one up this week-end, a Schrade Old Timer 610T. Well loved and used, honest old knife, and a hand-full as well. cheers

Look what I found at an estate sale this morning...
CASE XX 1940 - 1964 Stag 05247SP

Awesome find Scott. If that knife could talk what stories it would tell!

I won this KutMaster and it arrive last night, tarnished, scratched, tip broken, dull and dirty. after a couple hours I found this inside. It need a little more polishing and a few better pictures but here she is.

Great clean up and restoration. KutMaster made some great knives.

Thanks ROCK!
