We wouldn't even need a wall, just the 6th Armored Division.

I do believe that the prices of vintage Camillus knives is starting to catch up a bit with the other brands.
There was a Ebony Gunstock jack tha recently sold and almost broke the $400 mark but it was not nearly as nice as yours.
Greg , 2 and a half years later wonder what you think now .
Camillus knives I believe have gone up considerably in the last few years . Espically the pre 1960 s and older .
As to the Pearl, don’t care for it on a User . Sure is pretty though ,maybe a pearl neck lace with a neck knife around a beautiful lady ::nod::
Happy Holidays to all .

Jp I actually wound up winning that pearl whittler and still have it. :D It's probably my most prized Camillus. I doubt that I could get what I paid for it today but it's not for sale anyway so I'll never know. I do think that older Camillus knives have gained some ground on the other brands though if the condition is very good.

This one was made between 1915-18. It has the full saber grind on both sides.
Greg. You mention these dates . And you still have the knife. Could you share what tells you those dates . Is it a 3 line main with arched secondaries?
Most Beautiful Camillus Whittler I’ve ever seen . Did you post any pics after you received it ?

Jp I have since suspected that the knife may be pre !915 because of the curved stamp on one of the secondaries. Goins states that Camillus used a curved stamp from 1902-1915. I'll throw a few pics on here. Tell me what you think.

Have to agree with Joe, it’s Beautiful !!!
1902 to 1915 would be a educated guess , a little beyond my knowledge of old Camillus knives .
That’s a piece that would be at the top of any Camillus Collection. Thanks for showing it to us Greg . ::handshake::
