Thank you Smitty.

Today I added this pocket knife to my "general" CAMILLUS pocket knife collection. It is a 1958 CAMILLUS, single blade, 3 tool pocket knife. A nice companion for the 1949, the 1959 and the 1960 that I've acquired. It has a few issues, but one can be repaired. It also needed a little cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.

Nice find Skip! You've got a good collection of Steelies going.

Thank you Smitty.

Here is a Bennett & Heron Lobster or gents knife. ---- 3 1/8"
So nicely made --- in Sheffield.

Thanks Sheffieldguy, it's so nice to have this one.

Nice little history in Tweedale's.

This is my most recent arrival to my all metal handle knives collection. It's a THE W & H CO. - USA - NEWARK NJ, single blade pocket knife. According to the GOINS book, "c 1870-1959 Whitehead & Hoag was founded in 1870. They went out of business about 1959. This was an advertising specialties firm; the knives were made for them by a variety of cutlery manufacturers." But with the advertising on the handles of the pocket knife, the date of manufacture can be narrowed down to circa 1930. There is a serial number(?) stamped into the handle. It measures just a hair under 2 1/4" closed and just a hair over 3 3/4" open. It is completely magnetic. I don't collect advertising pocket knives per se, but besides being all metal, it advertises a bank during the depression era and I also have a direct connection with the town/city of Poughkeepsie, but not with a bank. It needed a bit of cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.

If you think that I already posted THIS EXACT SAME pocket knife under this topic, think again, you're wrong.

My favorite is an old Miller bros cutlery

This is my latest entry for this topic. It's a GEO SCHRADE, single blade with fish scaler, double tang stamp, wire frame/handle pocket knife. Definitely not the cleanest example of this pattern that I've obtained. It needed cleaning. I did what I could with it. The handle looks like it has issues (it isn't rusted), but it's really not that bad. I took some pictures and here it is.

Thank you Floyd.
This pattern is very durable.

This is the most recent acquisition for my wire handle/frame, pocket knife collection. It's a GEO. SCHRADE, single blade, wire handle/frame, hawkbill pruner pocket knife. It's in a helluva lot better condition than it's cousin that's posted just above this.

Today this pocket knife joined my "general" CAMILLUS pocket knife collection. It is a 1959 CAMILLUS (my 2nd), single blade, 3 tool pocket knife. A nice companion for the 1949, the 1958, the other 1959 and the 1960 MIL-K's that I posted previously under this topic/thread. It is in EXCELLENT condition and required minimal cleaning. I took some pictures and here it is.

Nice one from Worlds fair & Coursolle french knife

I'm not going to post the rest of my "W & H" (Whitehead & Hoag) all metal, fob/pocket knives
