I found a cool Counter Sales Display last year.
There was an old catalog inside which listed this model display as #85.
I wish I could buy all the knives that are listed on the display at those sticker prices.

Stretch, that’s a Camillus collectors dream piece,you have a great piece and some literature
If you get a chance could you show us a few pages from the catalog,would like to compare it to our other info and see if anything new or interesting pops up . And it would be a challenge to fill it with appropriate knives,some here could probably fill it from there collection!!
Thanks for sharing your pics and info.

SWEET counter display!

Congrats on the find!!!

All I gotta say is.... you a lucky duck for finding one in such good shape and with the additional catalog and papers. Very nice my friend. I would also like to see which catalog was inside.

Per your request.
Cover - Front & Back.
Based on the Factory Picture, I would date this catalog to no later than 1972.
All the cars I can see are definitely late 60's but the distinctive gold AMC gremlin parked all by itself helps the dating.
The Gremlin was not sold until 1970.

An ad from a June 1949, New York newspaper.
Caption(s), if any, are on the BOTTOM of the corresponding picture(s).

Arriving yesterday afternoon, this pocket knife box became the latest item to be added to this topic or thread and to my CAMILLUS ephemera collection. It is a CAMILLUS, pattern "51" (BARLOW) pocket knife box. Overall, it is in GOOD condition with just some general wear.
