......jerry, I wish I had one of these in that condition!!!!!........... .................

They were a whole lot easier to come by when I was one of the few that was looking for them. That one now lives at Philip's house (Treefarmer).

.......can't believe you parted with that one, jerry!!...I've got 3, but none in that condition!!............... ..........

Hey, thanks for the welcome Jerry. That's a nice one. Sure wish I had one of those in my collection.

...1st gen. Camillus scout with the compass in the handle just showed up on ebay, first one I've seen since I bought mine years ago...needle is detatched from the compass shaft and the bail is missing......my compass still works!!!...... ...............

I have a 2 blade easy opener with ebony wood handles made by Camillus , banner shaped shield reads Boy Scouts . It's a very early knife I suspect teens into the 20s blade etched Boy Scouts of America .
The little bit of research I did came up as a early boys life premium knife .
Will post a picture when I get a chance .

I've seen the same knife in a 4 blade bone as well with the same etch .

Ahh! No wonder ok it didn't show up in my search. Thanks Tom.

Very cool scout! Did those ever come with bone handles?

They sure did, and they are bold and beautiful!

...greg, I have looked at the handles on mine with the 45X magnifier jerry sent me and I'm still not sure if the handles on this one are synthetic or black dyed bone. the surface is not smooth like synthetic mat'l, it could be bone???...... ........

BSA Whittler's #1047

Sweet BSA knives Vit. And your white handled one is not broken at the pin!

Those white ones had a habit of developing a handle crack at the shield.

My modest group of Camillus 1047 Scout knives (so far).

Those are like 72 whittlers, don't show them to Jerry.

Too late.

A couple contributions from my collection:

(Not all Camillus) Camillus set Great 4 blade oldie

Well Well Well - look what the cat dragged in - nice showing Ron and welcome back - I had that flashlight, pen and knife set circa 1966.

Ha thanks Tom!
